Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 11/21/2014 2:50 pm Here are some detail photos of a 1934-P LWC. I can tell for sure that there is a spread on the date when comparing it to another 1934-P. (I posted a photo of one in the first response in this thread.) I do not know how to tell whether the spread is doubling or wear. I have looked for markers for 1934-P-001 and what I have found is probably more my imagination than reality. So how does one tell the difference between a doubling spread and wear? Edited by Pete2226 11/22/2014 06:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

The top of the 3 is thinner here and the diagonal on the four appears straight and not arched.The curve of the 9 appears thinner here, too. Report this Post to the Staff

Note how the fields are distorted from the contact that damaged these devices. Three things can make a device look wider. 1. Hub doubling 2. Struck through error with a small amount of grease in the die. 3. Contact that flattens or scrapes part of the metal from the device. I believe your coin is suffering from #3.
