Flokizomb Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 12/10/2018 2:32 pm I believe I have found a new Variety of the 1958-D Lincoln Penny. I have looked for 2 days straight now and have not been able to find a 58-d penny with so much thickness on the left side of the penny. it looks like MDD, as well as DDO with extra thickness, and as well Die deuteration. On some parts it looks as if the coin was struck 3 or 4 times with a week die. Any one have thoughts that can help explain this, or is this a new discovery? thanks all for the help and views!

I wonder if the mint personnel were trying to remove a clash?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/10/2018 10:06 pm More of a extreme die wear strike on the coin. (Happened a lot on the 50's wheat cents) Not a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
