The second 9 looks a little thicker than the first 9 but I don't see that as doubling.

Doesn't appear to be a DDO to me, but feel free to upload a side by side of the date next to one you consider "normal." I don't see any split serifs that you mention, and for it to be an extra thickness DDO, I would expect it to be either a Class II or a Calss VI, and I would expect to see evidence on LIBERTY and IGWT if that were the case, which I'm not seeing. My best finds: 1996 DDO-001/FS-101: http://goccf.com/t/3720661995 DDO-001/FS-101: http://goccf.com/t/3760711983-P DDR-002/FS-802: http://goccf.com/t/4297271972-P DDO-008/FS-108: http://goccf.com/t/4055581972-P DDO-002/FS-102: http://goccf.com/t/4294271988-P "Reverse of '89": http://goccf.com/t/3993902000-D Maryland Quarter Rotated Die http://goccf.com/t/394553 |

Can you get another image of the second 9 with lighting from a different angle?

I see no notching, but the numbers do look a bit distorted. What did bat say? John1  ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion )

John1, he hasn't received the Cent yet. As far as not seeing the splits look at the bottom curl at the ends of both 9's

I'm back and have had a chance to look these over. The answer is no, it is not hub doubling but effects of die polishing and age. The polishing shows up as reduced areas, most easily seen on the tops of the OD of GOD and the upper parts of the 1 and 6 of the date. The die age shows as a mild overall broadening of the devices but it's not real severe. The date shows no notching, but there is a light MD on there which does make a few areas look somewhat like hub doubling as it isn't strong or obvious. The left side of the first 9 shows it the most strongly but it affects a number of places on the date. Sorry Jim, not a winner, but certainly was worth a look.  |

As I said, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Now I know for sure, it isn't.
