Looks like MD...closer pic of date and mm would help. Do you see doubling on the MM? Pic is too shopped.

sorry looked worked....scan makes sense though...I see a normal cent. I asked about the mm because it looks, to me, like die chatter caused what "doubling" you see...

until 1990 the mm was hand punched into the die. After that it was included on the hub. On a 1958 cent you could not have a doubled die with the same directional doubling on the mm and the date....it is machine doubling caused by chatter at the moment of strike.

if the mm was hand punched, would that mean it would have to be punched more than once to cause doubling?

Machine doubled on both date and mint mark.

Some have asked about my images I use and I've glad to say I've completed a DVD of these. Ask if you are interested.

Machine doubling essentially adds no premium to a coin.

I had a long explanation planned for you but I'm feeling lazy so I'll let someone else do it for me! ;)
