OK, last one until I give you people a 3 day break. I open rolls, look at coins with 20X large loop. One pile gets put in the look under the microscope pile; then each of those gets looked at: then if I think it's worth it you get a look. You see less than 2 coins per roll, sometimes none.
This coin is from the same roll as 1961DCUD? topic. 2nd to the last photo has die chip in the same "A" on reverse. Last photo, is that a Cud on top of "N" or just part of the die crack?
Obverse shows doubling as I usually see in my 1800's coins.
Might have thought die chip on top of mint mark was RPM but with the microscope just looks like a die chip. Nice red cent with a lot of eye appeal and no spots. Probably keep this one.

I see no doubling. The filled A is a die chip and any Cud starts on the rim of a coin.The N in the last pic looks like a tiny hit mark to me.

it looks machine doubled, as I am led to believe was caused by the machine stamping the coin and not the die itself. It is considered common on many coins , and is caused by loose collars allowing the coin to move slightly upon being stuck by the die. it happened at the mint so I would guess some people consider it a mint error as it is not as it should be before leaving the mint. keep in mind that am a beginner and just trying to understand these things myself ! I'm sure the other posters will correct me , as they should if I'm wrong
