brefos77 Pillar of the Community United States 792 Posts	Posted 05/15/2008 02:14 am While on another failed hunt for a 2008 cent, I came across this 1989 P cent. Focusing on the word "WE", I noticed some kind of doubling on the "E", and extra filling on the "W". Common? Report this Post to the Staff

The resident experts will pin it down to exactly what it is. Report this Post to the Staff
coffeegod Valued Member United States 236 Posts	Posted 05/15/2008 04:25 am Looks MD since there is no doubling to the rest of the "E". Are there any other doubling of this type to the rest of the devices? I personally would keep the coin just for the significance of the triple MD & to use as a reference.

I think the letter E has a die chip just like the letter W. The shape of the chip at the E makes it look like doubling. Just my personal thought. Report this Post to the Staff

This die is rather well known among cent hunters, first discovered a couple of years ago. It's not a doubled die, it's not Machine Doubling, it's a simple curiosity. Expect that some will like it and pay some premium for it, others won't care. Report this Post to the Staff
