MacCoins Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 11/04/2012 9:18 pm I am not sure if this is a double die. It looked odd when viewing with a 2X lighted magnifying glass. So, I used my USB microscope and took a few pictures. If you need more pictures to aid in determining it is a double die, please let me know. Report this Post to the Staff

Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 11/05/2012 10:56 am This one looks weird as IGWT looks like Machine Doubling at 400% zoom, I see nothing out of the norm with the date, yet the upper right side of "LI" and left side of "BER" of LIBERTY actually looks like split serifs one would find on a double die... Maybe one of the variety experts can view it at the 400% zoom level and comment on what they see. Report this Post to the Staff

MacCoins Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 11/05/2012 11:24 am I will zoom it down and try to get a better pic of the areas in question. I wanted to get all areas of the cent with lettering to aid in the determination. I know the 2008 looked normal but the LIBERTY and WE looked a little muddled. Thanks for responding and I will get a few more pics out this evening! Report this Post to the Staff
