coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 1:22 pm Looks like a normal coin to me. I've seen these marks on the top of the date before. I've always thought of them as ejection doubling. The overall size of the date is not changed. Just the tops of the digits were affected. It is another form of Machine Doubling caused by damaging the coin when it exits the chamber after the strike. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 1:35 pm I feel it happens during the exit from the chamber. Kicked out and hitting something on the way out. The reason I say this is that I had a bag of 1960-D cents and this happened a bit differently, but common for the die pair when I was searching through the bag. Didn't always happen the same, but something may have been out of alignment from the chamber. Report this Post to the Staff
