John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 2:56 pm Sorry,don't think so. Your coin does not match either of the ones on CC's site. I also do not think it is a doubled die at all. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 3:32 pm There are similarities to 001 on VV BUT don't think it is, but it could be. http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20...O%201973.htm Match these in yellow to the above link (check the eye area)...but the areas I marked in RED are common to all dies apparently is a master hub deal. The spliting on upper left of LIBERTY letters and left of center and lower leg of 3 is a very slight high bounce MD Edited by Crazyb0 01/16/2018 3:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 5:42 pm Something to keep in mind if you are searching uncirculated rolls of 1973 cents. The designs used to make the 1973 cents, both obverse and reverse, were only used in 1973. So there will be small differences all over the coin compared to other years. A good example of this is the extra large designer's initials on the reverse side, they were only like that in 1973. Since 1973 cents have a unique design, I have been searching for a transitional error for that year, but nothing has been found. Most likely there isn't any, but I can still look!

piercethegrimes Valued Member United States 260 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 7:32 pm here is a comparison of a thinner IGWT and a thicker IGWT. not sure if the thinner is "normal" or extra thin for another reason. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 8:51 pm Polishing the dies to remove clashes or other undesired marks, will cause the devices to be thinner on coins minted with a polished die. Report this Post to the Staff
