Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74145 Posts	Posted 01/01/2018 8:09 pm I found this yesterday on 12/31/2017. It was from a circulated roll from the same bank box of U.S. Pennies I've been searching. I will compare die markers, but I need to know which one it could possibly be before doing so. I was wondering which number it is. It has extra thickness on Liberty, IGWT, and the date. I didn't have enough time to post it yesterday, so I am posting it now. Any information would be great. Thank you and I hope everybody enjoyed New Years Eve! Update: It wasn't a DDO like I was hoping for, but oh well. It must have been my eyes playing tricks on me. Atleast I got it for face value.

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4401 Posts	Posted 01/01/2018 8:34 pm I'm not seeing a doubled die on this one. What I look for on the 1984 cents are doubled ears, notching on the tail of the 4, and the extra thickness towards the rim on LIB (like DDO-003). I'm not seeing any of this on your coin.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74145 Posts	Posted 01/01/2018 8:37 pm The tail on the G is stretched with a flared G (the pointy end that looks like a tail that is seen on Doubled Dies.). The R in trust if you look closely has a separation line on it. I compared this to another one that was normal from 1984 and the devices were clearly not the same size. This one has thicker devices. I am not throwing this coin in my spending pile until I know for sure. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 01/01/2018 8:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/01/2018 9:07 pm I have to agree with Tanman David, no indication of any DDO. Those lines on R are on the you as well, looks like a slight hop/bounce MD not a hub deal. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74145 Posts	Posted 01/01/2018 9:10 pm Thank you Crazyb0. After looking under the loupe for some time and trying to find die markers, I thought it was 1DO-008, but didn't find die markers. Sorry about that guys. Sometimes, stuff can easily trick me. Didn't mean to waste your time hopefully. It must of been my eyes or mind. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 01/01/2018 9:15 pm It's never a waste of time. The lines you see on the R are common for me to fine, but only on the Zinc cents. I have to wonder if it doesn't have something to do with the plating. Report this Post to the Staff

I have to wonder if it doesn't have something to do with the plating. Oh okay. Could easily be the plating since these years are notorious for plating issues since the U.S. Mint was having a ton of problems. [:) Quote: David, live long enough you too will be changing your avatar to a name more appropriate I am still very young, only 18 years old. Eventually when it comes time, I will change my picture more suitable for my name. That Canadian cent with the Partial Indent error is still my favorite errors of all time (My favorite Canadian error and still my favorite out of all of my error coins). Errers and Varietys.

Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 01/01/2018 9:41 pm The raised devices on these copper plated zincs tend to deteriorate from the middle outwards Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 01/01/2018 10:05 pm I think the newer designs are more square on the tops verses the more rounded tops of years past. That may have something to do with the line. Report this Post to the Staff
