2017-P Shield Series Penny- What Do You Think?

I stand corrected, yes that is the process instead of a double stamp like a proof or the adding of different hubbing dies. What I was referring to is the looseness that happens upon a strike, does make a racket. But with PDD, this is a machine VIBRATION, that if the plating is improperly applied is a bit loose, this is the reaction.

There's bad Die Deterioration going on. If you look at the top of TRUST", you can see some Die Deterioration setting in, so it does fit in. It's also Late Die State issue. My main reason for posting that picture Chase is to explain Die Deterioration, so that it's easier to understand.

No Chase, I'm not disputing Crazyb0's statement. What makes you think that? To be clear, this isn't a dispute. I just wanted to to add some information on this thread about Die Deterioration.

Die Deterioration (die wear) is caused by the die getting worn from striking coins. As the die continuously strike coins, the die will slowly begin to break down, and the design will get weaker with every strike. We will often categorize the different die states, to describe what state the die was in. They're Early Die State, Mid Die State, Late Die State, and the last one would be Very Late Die State.

The OP's coin is starting to show heavy die flow lines on the top of "TRUST", stretching of the letter on "TRUST" (starting to slowly merge to the rim), and the details are starting to get mushy.

As others have said, the word TRUST is distorted by Die Deterioration. You can clearly see the formation of a " Ridge Ring" just inside the design rim. Plating disturbance doubling can have a similar appearance, but it can occur in the absence of Die Deterioration and can be significantly more offset.

Yes, thank you all! I'm starting to see what may be a good coin compared to the ones that are just slightly off.

I'll keep on searching.
