Welcome! it is always a good thing to do photos of the whole coin to give an overall perspective. It is rather hard to figure out exactly what the photos are showing.

Hoping to see full, large and sharp photos--ideally one coin per thread. Might be a difficult decision to remove the coins from the cello packaging. I do it all the time, but that's just me.

No clue what's going on from these images.

Ya. Looks like I'll have to remove it and take proper photos. That photo editor provided when uploading photos is the same one I had on a site in 2001. I'll take better photos and edit the size in a separate program. Thanks so far for the input.

I do not see a doubling here.

So not doubling, what could have happened here? In the photo that includes the full "1 cent" I tried to show the extremely sloped edges between the lobes of the leaf. Every other penny I have compared have real defined, 90% edges. It's a very gradual slope that come off the edges of the leaf a long way. The photo of the stems of the leaf isn't great but that's another area where all of the edges are gradual. The small lines you see on the inside of the stems are where the edges end. Then again there's that almost webbing between the lobes on the outside of the bottom leaf. It's just something I've never seen and when I pulled out a few dozen pennies of the same year and surrounding I couldn't find anything similar. Doubling maybe isn't the terminology I should have used in my question. Does anybody know how this might have happened? Is it something you've seen many times? I appreciate the feedback thus far.

If you need a scope to see anything, how would a variety or error collector pay a premium for something you can"t readily see ?

Sometimes, the RCM lacquered the 1-cent coins in their PL and SP sets. This is looks like a combination of two things: over-polishing of the reverse die, with lacquer shouldering the devices.

Who said anything about selling this coin at a premium, John? I sure didn't. I'm asking how it happened. SPP, thank you for your input. I appreciate you taking the time to explain that to me.

 This is a stock picture I had on hand of the ghosting your questioning about. Examined many of these 1975 sets and they are fairly common. It is kinda cool.

To me, it just looks like light reflecting/refracting off the tapered font of the design elements. The dies are tapered so that the planchet doesn't stay stuck in the die. Maybe they changed the angle or design of the die taper. If there was no light reflection from the taper, there would be no ghosting.

Thanks a lot Chad, for that photo. That's exactly what the coin I have looks like. Something I haven't come across so I was interested to know a little bit about it. I appreciate you pulling that photo up to post.

Here is what happens when you severely overpolish a reverse die... elements close to the level of the fields, blend in with the fields.
