aristarchus123 Pillar of the Community United States 1695 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 8:37 pm I think that is Die Deterioration. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 8:53 pm Looks to be a mix of Machine Doubling and Die Deterioration, not a doubled die. I can see why you'd ask, I'd probably do a double take on that one. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74241 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 8:59 pm I agree with Tanman that's a combination of Die Deterioration from normal die wear and Machine Doubling since the devices have been reduced in size. Severe die wear was notorious on Lincoln Wheat cents from the 1950's. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 10:30 pm The die was in pretty bad shape when this coin was struck. It had a die chip on the left wheat grains and in VLDS when it was struck. The MD didn't help either. But the worst news, it not a doubled die. This linl will help you learn what to look for on Wheat cent DDR's http://goccf.com/t/257713 Edited by coop 03/05/2018 10:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
