That's a very nice example of MD Pete.

Some of them can be fairly wide, here is another one from the reverse side of a 1953-D

Interesting...I just do not remember seeing any so pronounced as these.

Also strange how, on my coin, the letters on either side of the N show it but not the N?

That could just be flattening from circulation. I think that's also what has happened to the first you in UNUM.

There are several known 1936-P DDR cents, but this is clearly MD. You can see how the devices are narrower where the doubling is seen. It is not uncommon to have MD on a DD but if it were a minor DD and well circulated, it would be hard to tell.

The dot between PLURIBUS and UNUM is out of shape and comes close to matching one of the minor doubled dies, but with the wear and the MD effect showing so much, it would be difficult at best to know if it was a doubled die.

Still nice to find something like this on an early Lincoln Cent.



EDIT: Just for the record, I typed "U" not "you". I even went back and tried to edit it again, but the forum must automatically change things like that.
