I have this 2015 D LSC that the five appears to almost mimic the five of the 2015 P DDO-006. The rest of the obverse and reverse is absolutely normal and this is the first one from Denver that I have seen with a five on the date like this and doesn't appear to be grease related. Would this be considered normal? Attached is also a pic of a normal 2015 D LCS date. Insight please.   Edited by Jim0815

Hey, Sorry to break the news, but that's a normal Machine Doubling which adds no real value. If you look at the questioned photo it's more similar to this example of Machine Doubling, just worn so it's less prominent.  |

Not quite sure this would be machine doubled as there are no sign of steps around the five, high or low. I am almost inclined to think grease. But then again I haven't run across one like this.

GrapeCollects, remember to give Coop some credit for creating that image.  Jim0815 - Which picture is of the coin in question, the first or second one? |

The first one SilverDollar. The more I look at it the more inclined I am to thinking grease.

That's the crazy thing about this cent Mr. Coop. Just like the DDO-006, the five isn't flattened and there are no contact marks on this device. I have a DDO-006 and compared the height and the are the same. One last question then, I know there are some doubled die cents that show some light spread on some devices or a single device. Hypothetically, could this possibly be one?

Not seeing a doubled die. I am seeing the "flattening" of the five, which I have seen before but am unsure exactly what caused it. Weak strike or Die Deterioration maybe? |

What about a ride through a rolling machine at the bank. That usually just affects the outer devices. All the devices would be doubled in the date if this were the one

Have you looked at the image of the 006 I posted? Look at the first digits. If it is supposed to be this die number, then all the digits would be hub doubled exactly like that image. No short cuts. When you look back at your side by side, the top of the lower part is slightly flattened. Note the lower image the overall size of the device of the 5 is still exactly the same on both of your images. Just the top is flattened down a bit. So it is a normal coin with a contact mark. So take a look again at the 006 I posted and note the '201' on the date? Now can you see the spread? Your coin doesn't show a spread.
