Roberthas Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 04/04/2016 9:29 pm I took several pics from every light angle I could, in an attempt to show what this coin looks like in this area. All of the lower left of most of the letters in liberty appear corner clipped as left side doubling can do. They also look thick along the left sides, including the left fork in the "Y". Also note the top left edges too, they appear shadowed with a second image. The I, B, E, R, T and Y all have something about them, in one place or another... I haven't seen anything listed on this date/issue. Thanks in advance, Robert Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/05/2016 09:32 am I thin k I can see what you are talking about on the 'B' on LIBERTY. Looks like Machine Doubling. Note it doesn't enlarge the device, it reduces it. Report this Post to the Staff
Roberthas Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 04/05/2016 10:11 am Yes, and I admit I was looking at other things and didn't think about that one, the reducing... On the vertical of the E, wouldn't you say it looks enlarged, or is the E just different in this series? I have noticed that in some of the years the font gets really weird like the BERT or IBERTY seems to be an enlarged set of letters compared to the rest of the word. I had it set aside for a few days and would go back, sneak up and look at it. I was still unsure, so I finally decided to post it before I threw it in the coin machine pile. Its there now.. :) Thanks, Robert Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/05/2016 4:39 pm The 'E' looks normal in size. Hub doubling usually does not affect just one device. The effect is noticed on several in a row on LIBERTY. The 'E' on the 1973 cents is very distinctive for that year. But is just normal. Report this Post to the Staff
