I compared this one to another 1957-D penny I have and it looks like the 1 and 9 are slightly larger than usual. I'll leave it to you "experts" though. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 6:33 pm The MD gets real extreme this year: http://goccf.com/t/283124 My image host is not working right now, But in the above thread go down to the 1957 image on my post. You can see the MD is very extreme, but it ~~never~~ usually doesn't enlarges the devices. It always reduces the normal size of the device 99% of the time. The area affected may think it is, but it is not. Only a doubled die enlarges the devices. let me repeat that: Only a doubled die enlarges the devices. So with the exception of Push/slide doubling the devices are usually the same size as normal. Edited by coop 02/01/2018 7:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

If I compare this to another coin the numbers look larger than they are supposed to be to me, at least the 1 and 9 do. Report this Post to the Staff

It alters the devices buy punching them around: http://www.error-ref.com/?s=push+doubling It is sometimes called slide doubling. I re-edited my previous comment.
