coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/10/2011 9:53 pm Not a vote here, just stating a fact. The other three posts are correct. It is classic Die Deterioration. I would venture to guess this is a cent from 1982-1990. That's roughly the time period where this sort of Die Deterioration happened most frequently. Report this Post to the Staff
pman860507 Pillar of the Community United States 784 Posts	Posted 12/10/2011 11:05 pm I think this is right if not then someone please correct me. If both marks are not on the same level then its not a double die. The above coin is what all Die Deterioration looks like. Machine Doubling looks more like steps. I hope this is all right and helpful. Report this Post to the Staff
