SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 12/26/2021 8:08 pm I noticed this and just wanted to post it to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Still practicing my LWC attribution and such. I've determined that this could be either flattening, die wear, something else. I don't think this is thickened because of a doubled die, as other devices aren't that enlarged, but I just wanted to make sure. Here's a comparison of the coin in question (at the top), with another 1941 cent (on the bottom): Here are some photos of the other devices of the coin in question: Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 12/26/2021 8:16 pm I see that the letters of LIBERTY on the two coins has same angle and dimensions (high). Seem to be flattered, but when? This it is the answer to find, and I am curios to know. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34448 Posts	Posted 12/26/2021 8:49 pm I do see that the arms of the letter Y are different widths, but I'm not seeing split corners at the bottom of any of the letters of LIBERTY. Maybe these are obscured by circulation wear?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/26/2021 10:24 pm Mostly just circulation flattening and gunk around the devices. There are a lot of DDO's that year, so look at the sites to see what to look for on these dies: Variety Vista Site 1941 cents http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20...O%201941.htm http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20...R%201941.htm Coppercoins.com listings for 1941 cents: http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.php Edited by coop 12/26/2021 10:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
