Thanks!
It's one of the few that I've come across that have had such a spread on IGWT.

Nice. Sorry. Need to know. What was the clue that it was a DDO? |

Rob, well, if you compare it to a normal 1934 cent, you'll see that the date is very thick. LIBERTY is also quite thickened. But IGWT is uniquely pulled out even more so, which is something you don't normally see on LWC DDOs as well. |

Cool! I haven't seen a ton of these, they look to be pretty scarce.

This is actually the first one I've seen with that type of flow on IGWT.

Thanks for all the information. I wondered how you would not just think they were flattened.

It's about understanding metal flow and how 3D objects work under a microscope. You will generally be able to tell if something is flattened or not based on if there is metal spread, indents, and having the devices pop out at you rather than being all smushed.

Class VI doubled dies are so often described as thick letters or numerals. This is true but the root of much confusion. The design elements are actually distended/distorted in predictable ways that distinguish this class of doubling. Here is a link to the best tutorial I know of on recognizing a class VI doubled die. Jason did an excellent job on this. I think I heard that he is one of the new attributors for Coneca. http://www.lincolncentforum.com/for...hlight=Class |

SilverCents, better change the font on your penny machine, it looks like it got changed. LOL. Great find.
Great link Stoneman. I'll have to remember to look for the pointy shoes on Liberty and WE.
