kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 05/02/2014 08:16 am It appears to me to be die wear doubling. My Evidence: Many of the letters have doubling on BOTH sides of the letter. Only of academic interest. Report this Post to the Staff

Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 05/02/2014 11:38 am Wow thanks I was seeing the doubling on both sides and also thought it was suspect-I'm glad you brought that up because I did mean to ask about that-another type of identification learned Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/02/2014 12:41 pm Usually you see die wear in the direction towards the rim. Nickels wear the die because of the nickel in the planchet. Probably the second strongest wear pattern because of the planchets. (Steel cents #1) I see Machine Doubling also on your coin, so you have the worst of both worlds on you coin. Spendable Report this Post to the Staff
