InfiniteInterest Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 05/02/2009 11:30 pm There are no Doubled Die Obverse listings for this Date/MM combination at Coppercoins' site. Looks like one of the Doubled Eyelids I have seen on other dates there, but I would wait for the experts opinion on this one, it could go either way, die scratch/gouge or doubling. In my opinion, with that much separation you would think that there would be other areas doubled, but the Single Squeeze die preparation has produced quite a few coins with doubling closer to the center of the coin- and only there. Good Luck ! Report this Post to the Staff

mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 05/03/2009 10:39 am Yes. I pressed on it with a shaved toothpick. It doesn't seem to be a bubble. I'll try for a better pic. My eyes were tired. Report this Post to the Staff
rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 05/03/2009 11:50 am Must be a gouge, can't see what it would be doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 05/03/2009 12:05 pm You're probably right rockdude. I haven't seen one like it before, so I thought I'd post it. Report this Post to the Staff
rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 05/03/2009 2:38 pm If it were a doubled die I think it would look like this 1946, notice the angle on the doubling. Edited by rockdude 05/03/2009 2:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 05/04/2009 12:52 am Point out specifically what you are looking at. I don't see anything yet but a normal cent. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 05/04/2009 11:28 am Bill...there is a raised protrusion coming directly out of the eyeball. It's a die gouge. It does not have the correct angle or shape for a doubled eyelid. Report this Post to the Staff
mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 05/04/2009 7:01 pm Yes Bill. That's what I was wondering about. Die gouge it is. Thanks guys. Report this Post to the Staff
