CPC2013 Valued Member Canada 377 Posts	Posted 03/03/2013 11:17 pm A 1948 penny that looks like it was being melted at the time of being struck . Right side from DEI down to the bottom of bust has large waves all through the coin . The legend does not have double stamping but you can see another impression of the lettering . The date side does not have any problems . Report this Post to the Staff

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 4:40 pm Weird. I'm guessing a worn die of sorts. Report this Post to the Staff
cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 10:08 pm That is a mystery. Even in the denticals, it looks struck about 4 times. Even in the front of the forehead. Do you think it got stuck to one die? That's a good one for the 10x loop. Report this Post to the Staff
CPC2013 Valued Member Canada 377 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 10:21 pm Thanks Cownick and Pennysaver . When looking at the coin it reminds me of something melting and turning to liquid as it flows away . The letters don`t seem to be double struck as normal . Definitely weird . Report this Post to the Staff
