First is this machine doubling or die deterioration, second why do all aspects spear to go towards the rim? Is this typical. Also how does it maintain small details like the flares on top an bottom of E. I have not yet seen on every word until now that is.
Based on your pics, I believe this is a combination of die deterioration and plating issues common on copper plated zinc cents. Machine doubling is more flat/shelf-like and appears cleaner in my opinion. If I remember correctly the reason that it moves to the rim has something to do with the pressure of the strike and the tension/stress on the thin layer of copper plating. I'm not sure about the detail your referring to on the E. I'm definitely not an expert though and if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will jump on here and correct me.
Thank you for the info I have seen slot of this and am still very new to this. I can look at slot of confirmed doubled dies I see online and see nothing. also I can somewhat identify machine doubling again very new to this but I didn't think this coin completely fit either bill due to on this coin you can see the hole in the R above the R and didn't think that could be achieved with machine doubling also separation from the horizontal T top and slightly on bottom curve of S. Here are pictures that might show this a little better, but probably not. I'm not saying its DD because I'm not sure what it is just don't understand the aspects I mentioned above.
Thanks for info here is best pics I can get if you can see the leg up on the far right of bottom leg of E
Based on the new photo I think I see the gray/silver looking color of the zinc core exposed. If so I think its plating disturbance or split plating doubling. http://www.error-ref.com/?s=split+plate+doubling
Thanks for info and thanks for looking. Also the color your seeing is from shadows ,glare and filter I used to try and get clearer photo of what I was seeing.
yes, split plate doubling. you should repeat to yourself until you hear it in your dreams ... "Zincoln cents are horrible and one should avoid at all costs". here's a good reference for it https://errorvariety.com/OFD/PSD.html
