bjsturg Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 08/15/2025 1:01 pm Looking for help/advice on this 1989 coin. TY. Im "guessing" a stuck planchet re-punch where liberty starts, and maybe the planchet was bad from the start? The 'IN' is very light and there seems to be doubling in 'GOD' on the Obverse. On reverse, some doubling in 'UNITED--TED' and in 'STATES--ST' Im probably wrong on my "Guessing" . Sorry about the whole coin picture...Im not sure why the phone camera takes upclose blurry pics.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6616 Posts	Posted 08/15/2025 4:12 pm That is one worn obverse die. The reverse has split plating above the letters, not uncommon on earlier plated zinc cents. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 99180 Posts	Posted 08/16/2025 6:34 pm well Errers and V seemed to have summed it up quite nicely. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
