Good Morning, Is this doubling on both obverse and reverse caused by die deterioration or was there contamination during the plating process? Or am I just way off base....again...lol Thanks again
Looks like DDD as the spread is on each side of the devices, normally a clear tell to which type of No Added Value doubling
Agreed on die deterioration doubling. Doubled dies on cents from 2010 forward will show as fatty letters and/or numerals. They will also show on the numerals as slashed. Todays doubled dies are an entirely different breed than those of yesteryears.
Zincoln's, so many anomalies, so few positive errors. There are still a few out there so keep searching, I am. Good luck
I too vote DDD. Appears to just be a worn die in conjunction with it being a crappy Zincoln cent. Can you tell I don't like them?
