Tiffscoins New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 10/09/2014 2:50 pm When I originally found this penny and realized all of the doubling it entailed I did a lot of research to try to figure out if it was double die or Machine Doubling. I took photos, looked under magnifying glasses and scanned to get all angles. When I thought I had finally figured it out I went to research others like it and came up with nothing, only the 1999 Wide AM errors- any and all thoughts or opinions are welcome. I personally see doubling on almost all letters and numbers for front and back and very strong doubling on Lincolns face inside and on edges. I think there may be doubling on the reverse image, especially the steps,but I cant be certain. There are some extreme letter errors particularly on the reverse and especially the R in AMERICA. There's some weird stuff going on in this penny and I cant find ANY info on it, please help! Thanks :) Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 10/09/2014 3:22 pm The pics are too far away to see any doubling, but I do see a lot of die wear marks in the fields, especially near the date. This is most likely the explanation for the doubling that you see. Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 10/09/2014 10:47 pm I think Adam is probably right - see some flow marks to the rim on both sides (or look like anyway). Close-ups of the devices would help to confirm, but it looks like a normal 1999 LMC. Let's reserve a final verdict for the time being and Coop will be by eventually. Report this Post to the Staff

Tiffscoins New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 10/10/2014 7:59 pm I'm trying to figure out how to get angled pictures that are close enough to show clearly. I am certain that there is double die here, I've never been more certain :/ Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/10/2014 8:19 pm Hare you tried taking images through a glass/loupe? That is hard to do, but you might get a shot that will show what you have? Report this Post to the Staff
