cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 11:10 pm It looks like it has been scratched and the scratch makes it look doubled. I am going to say that is Post Mint Damage ( PMD) and worth 5 cents. Report this Post to the Staff

my10cents New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 07/14/2015 07:30 am I agree post mint damage. If it was a double die it would show evidence on bottom of the lettering also. Not just the top of the lettering. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 07/16/2015 3:01 pm Welcome to CC! The coin has what we call PMD, Post Mint Damage. The correct term is DOUBLED DIE, not "double stamped" (not a term we use for anything). Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

I agree though we don't use the term "double stamped". The correct term is double struck. Edited by Conder101 07/17/2015 11:15 am Report this Post to the Staff
