this is a 2006P. there is something going on in the "B" of liberty. I would ordinarily dismiss this as MD, howerver teh curve to the left of the inside curve, on the top half of the "B" has two seperate sides. you can see the light source coming in from the left side - lighthin up the left isde of the normal curve. the anomoly is raised with a right and left edge. something similar is happening on the bottom half of the "B", except the bottom half does not show an edge on both sides. can anyone help explain what this is, of is it simply Machine Doubling. thanks.  |

There are over 20 double dies for that date. Need photo's of entire LIBERTY to help you; or look yourself at coppercoins.com.

i understand that. I spent quite some time looking through the coins listed at coppercoins.com. none of the I found none of his listings to show the curved shape in the top and bottom of the "B". that is the only area, by-the-way, that I am able to see anything unusual. i am not even convinced that it is a doubled die, however I do not this is is simply Machine Doubling either. I really don't know what is is. |

i supposed it could be. the coin is in good condition, and dose not show heavy signs of deteriorating dies. could that explain the additional feature inside the loop of the "B"?  |

I'm thinking it may be a die dent/damage if those aren't plating blisters.

If it is incuse, then it is die wear as noted. Doubled dies from this era are typically stronger toward the center and will have a tootsie roll extra thickness with notching - which I am not seeing in the photos.

Jason, the anomaly is raised according to his first post. I see I was too quick to post a response Roger. Thanks for noting. Maybe it's a combo of plating disturbance (puffiness) and some adjacent die wear? I don't like how isolated it is. It doesn't match any hub doubling in the modern era. It might be worth holding on to in the curiosity pile. I would suggest looking at the B of all 2006s and see if you ever note anything similar popping up on another coin. |

thanks all for the responses. I didn't expect anyone to think it was a doubled die. I simply do not have the knowledge to explain what it really is.
i have only recently started giving the 2006 cents a close exam, partly due to a coin posted on a different forum.
so far the best (letitimate) doubled die I have found , are column reverses.
