coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/10/2015 4:50 pm I don't think this one is showing progressive design transfer. Note the outline of the bust should be raised more. Also not the bays on the left side of my example. I Don't see that happening on the OP's coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 12/10/2015 7:54 pm Thanks, coop. I did notice that it seemed quite weak. I do see a "shadow" where the head should be. I wonder if there are progressive stages of the image developing and this is an early stage? Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 12/10/2015 8:52 pm I would think you would see progress throughout the life of the die. I was just looking through a bag of wheaties that I've had in my closet for a while last night and I found a few very strong examples of ghosting, notably on a 1946, 46-S and 51-S. I agree that the coin in question is not a strongly ghosted coin, but may be an early stage. Report this Post to the Staff

I am still looking for my first strong example! Quote: I would think you would see progress throughout the life of the die. That would make sense to me. Perhaps we should be talking about this feature as weak or strong ghosting. Otherwise, at what point does the appearance of this apparition actually become PIDT? I suppose the answer to that would be in coop's statement, but that leaves a little "wiggle room" for identifying what that point is! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/11/2015 12:55 pm This is progressive on later die states. Some of the time it is there and we don't notice it. I think because the examples found are often BU coins, this makes it easier to see this event on cents. Report this Post to the Staff

I am still looking for my first strong example! Let me rephrase that. The 1946-S is the only one I would consider 'strong', but it's clearly present on the other coins mentioned and a couple others. 1946-S: 1951-S: Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 12/11/2015 5:49 pm I just found another ghosted 1946-S that I think may be from the same die as the other but in an earlier state. It has a similar mintmark location and they both share the same weakness on the 4 and 6. Report this Post to the Staff
