Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 02/11/2015 01:37 am I moved your thread to the correct section for Lincoln Cents. Can't tell if the date took a hit or possibly that's Machine Doubling. Can you get a clear closeup of the date? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/11/2015 02:20 am Looks like machine doubling/damage to the devices. The die is normal, but die movement damages the devices. The amount can vary from strike to strike as it is a machine issue: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._jason_1.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._jason_2.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._jason_3.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._jason_4.jpg Which ever directions the dies move damage the coins devices.

neohoritis New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 02/11/2015 05:30 am Thank you guys.I will try to take a better picture tonight. I don't think the date took a hit as the doubling is also on the bottom of the date and on top of R and E on LIBERTY. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/11/2015 09:38 am The bottoms of the date maybe just die wear. This was common on the 40's-50's wheat cents. They over used the dies and the dies show extreme die wear: Keep in mind the coin in the image I posted is a BU coin. The devices all over the coin are weak, die cracks, weak wheat ears, the lower right devices looking like doubling (Which was called then the so called "poor mans doubled die" which is just die wear.

neohoritis New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 02/11/2015 8:09 pm I know very little about coins and even less about error coins all though I have a few of them.Does that mean it's not worth anything? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/12/2015 12:22 am Yes it is machine damage to the devices that was caused by the strike. It is very common and the die that struck the coin was a normal die, the strike was the problem. So it is not a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff

I'd be willing to wager there's more than a few collectors on ebay that would prove you wrong. Also...you can't "has no" of anything. Report this Post to the Staff
