brefos77 Pillar of the Community United States 792 Posts	Posted 11/28/2007 12:42 am Look at the date esp. the 8. What is this called? And is there a premium? Report this Post to the Staff

MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 11/28/2007 08:40 am Without a hint of what your seeing its hard to tell. The only thing I see is a raised area on the right side and bottom of the 8. Gas between the zinc and copper layers. No premiun. If there is something I'm not seeing, give me a hint.

brefos77 Pillar of the Community United States 792 Posts	Posted 11/28/2007 10:14 am The date is "doubled". The 8 shows it the best. Did you look at it at full sized? I'm sure it's not a DD, and it doesn't look like mech. doubling either, but it's got to be something.... Report this Post to the Staff
brefos77 Pillar of the Community United States 792 Posts	Posted 11/28/2007 10:40 am I hope this helps. The colored parts are the "doublings" I mentioned. Report this Post to the Staff

Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 11/28/2007 10:51 am Further, for what it is worth, I have just gone thru about 5500 1972-P Lincolns. The vast majority of mechanical and ejection doubling and die wear shadowing (doubling) is on the date. If someone could explain that, I would appreciate it. Jim Report this Post to the Staff

brefos77 Pillar of the Community United States 792 Posts	Posted 11/28/2007 11:30 am Thanks, Jim & biokemis6. Is the splitting copper plating a pretty common thing? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/29/2007 8:58 pm Splitting/plating sliding or die deteration. When the split happens over the mint mark it doesn't take long to see the damage. Report this Post to the Staff
