<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bill in Burl, post: 8237401, member: 23692&quot;]Take a close look at your 1919.&nbsp; There was an episode of &quot;traveling mechanical/machine doubling&quot; evident in the Canada and sometimes part of Cent as well.&nbsp; The doubling started at the C and, on some coins, the doubling is seen as far as the D in Canada &amp; just the E in Cent.&nbsp; I imagine that it happened that way as the locks/stays on the die kept getting looser and looser, allowing more left to right movement.&nbsp; The one that got as far as the D doubling are very hard to find.&nbsp; Some scarce ones also have the 9&#039;s punch doubled as well.&nbsp; The scarce ones of them, Griffin assigned a Rarity 8, which is as rare as any Cent that Griffin catalogued.&nbsp; In the repunched 9&#039;s that he described, &quot;the open center 9&#039;s were repunched with a narrow 9 oval punch&quot; tool.&nbsp; I&#039;ve only found one in 20 years of looking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
