<p>[QUOTE="VT4Pac, post: 3365897, member: 94961"]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.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm definitely not an expert though and if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will jump on here and correct me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
