@sher, I think what you are asking is if this cent was struck with one die was then re-struck with a second, but slightly different die. Is that right? I agree with @jimmy that there is Machine Doubling on Abe's throat. As to the date, I am maybe seeing a little DDD, but mostly just stray circulation marks.

The mark on the '6' is on all 1960 small date cents:  It was a re-engraving mark on the die. Also the throat area was added at that time as well. Why is this not Machine Doubling? It looks like it. If it were Machine Doubling, all the other areas of the design on that side of the other devices would all be showing the same thing. Back then they were having issues with the master hub that created the new dies with a swelling issue. Through out the years, different enhancements were added to the master hub/master dies to enhance the devices a bit more. Thus we see the same issues for many year on the 'WE' on the motto and other devices as well:   Other years had a single year of enhancing the devices (Similar to a face lift on the devices on the master dies.):     There are other cases probably on many other denominations as well. Some master hubs/dies had issues that were fixed through the years. When we see a continuing issue on many years it was an alteration of the master hub. If it was for just one year, it was altered on the master die.  Thanks to Will Brooks we have this information on cents. But knowing this information helps us understand easier when we see these differences. These are things that true collectors notice. So I'm sharing this information with you.

On the affected area on the neck. While it looks like Machine Doubling, it maybe an enhancement of the working hub. If the master hub was altered it not show Machine Doubling on all the other devices on that side of the design. Just on the throat area. This was done to enhance the life of the master hub. Thus if more than one master hub was altered, they could be different looking on different dies:  This coin is a 1964 example. So I feel it was done on the working hubs. If it were done on the master die, 50% of the dies would be affected the same as they only make two of them that year. But the point being, that if there were other Machine Doubling on the date and face, that would be Machine Doubling. If just that one area affected, then I feel it was an enhancement of the working hub. As it affects a confined area. CoopHome: How to tell Machine Doubling from engraving on the dies? |
