Coppergold Pillar of the Community United States 939 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 03:07 am At first, I wanted to call this Die Deterioration, but I never seen anything like this on a cent. What would you call it? Looks strange whatever it is, kind of looks like ripples. Edited by Coppergold 05/01/2018 03:07 am Report this Post to the Staff

CJ18850 Pillar of the Community United States 575 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 08:46 am I have a few too. My first thought was a lamination/grease error. Let's hear from the experts. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 08:55 am I am by means and expert but it may be the beginning stages of Die Deterioration Doubling. " DDD" or Mechanical Doubling. My thought is MD. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 3:01 pm I feel that is is push doubling. The devices are pretty much the same as normal, but the devices looks like they were pushed aside during the strike. (MD usually affects the devices after. Note the tops of the 'B' and 'R'. It looks distorted. Tops of LIBERTY and the bottoms on the date, tells me the machine shifted a bit during the strike. Report this Post to the Staff
