kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 7:21 pm I was taking photos of this coin for other reasons and saw this, I'm not sure what this is? But it looks like a 2 over 1942. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 7:27 pm Looks like it was flattened by a vending machine/coin counter/coin wrapper machine. Wider because of contact. Report this Post to the Staff
kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 7:28 pm Here is one no color alterations. Almost looks like a partial 4 to far left. But I might be seeing things? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 7:42 pm Color difference may not matter if the event happened years ago. The color can tone with age. At the top left side of the 4 looks like a contact mark that moved the top area of the 4 to the right. Report this Post to the Staff
kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 7:45 pm Please look again coop. I put arrows where I was taking about. I think maybe you misunderstood? If not, than I'm sorry. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 7:48 pm If that was a 42, then it would be raised like the date. It looks like coin scratches that makes you think it is something else. It is also note as wide as it should be for a hubbing issue. Edited by coop 02/01/2015 7:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tapapple65 Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 8:24 pm I see a 3 above the 4 in your last picture Report this Post to the Staff
kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 9:53 pm L Now I see that as well. It's like making shapes in the clouds Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/02/2015 11:26 am I remember there is a 1934 doubled die that shows a raised edge on the field. http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds But that is the only example I can think of like this at this time.

kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 02/02/2015 12:36 pm Usually that variety of dd is underneath correct? Not usually above, at least not that I can remember seeing. Unless it is an RPM, those I have seen above. Thanks Coop Edited by kurdlezuit 02/02/2015 12:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/02/2015 1:50 pm No it is raised from the field. Those devices were weaker hubbed leaving a weak imprint in the die and raised on the coin. I probably would have missed this one (1934 DDO) but someone caught it. (Did you see the overlay?)
