my76strat Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 03:51 am The rim of this 1987 LMC appears to be doubled; traveling through LIBERTY's L, and the entire IN GOD WE TRUST device. The coins reverse shows faint doubling along corresponding lines, and minor signs of striking through grease. I just found this coin in my current CRH bank roll. What have I found? Does it normally add any value to the coin; in coin collecting? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 04:59 am I see grease strike through on the reverse like you mentioned and the obverse effect I believe is from die deteriation-others will be along with opinions I'm sure though Report this Post to the Staff

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 09:18 am I think the weakness of strike on the upper portion of the reveres is due to poor die fill (not struck hard enough). Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 2:05 pm The ring through the devices is Die Deterioration. Very common on cents from the 1980's zincolns. Spendable Report this Post to the Staff
