A lot of Die Deterioration and MD. Why it's not so obvious MD all over is that deterioration softens the device edges, so only the sharper remains edges cut into the metal. Note the E of CENT, the bars have classic shelf-like appearance/and reduction in size but when looking at the other letters its just mushy and angled. Plus ALWAYS note the direction of movement. On hub doubling, It will usually be restricted to a small area, growing weaker around the coin. If you notice similar movement as in CENT , then notice UNITED, same direction and amount(distance). I always look for rotational movement over a vertical/horizontal plane. Edited by Crazyb0

It is MD ( Machine Doubling) I was going to say "  to the CCF!" when I saw your username, but then saw that you were a Valued Member. If you ever reach Bedrock of the Community status, you'll be the only New Member who is also Bedrock!  |

So I shouldn't have spent it? I'm sure it wasn't so valuable, everybody said MD.

I'd say at least $80 valuable. Enough that I would go back to the store and buy all the pennies in the drawer

No it is not. It is 1983P-1DO-002 CONECA DDO-002 and Wexlers WDDR-003 While the images that new member took were too bright, I compared die scratches. Most of them are there. I had my doubts at first until I saw the EPU. Then made side by sides and the finger prints were there. Matching die scratches.     His bright light was making the images of the devices look thinner and Wexlers looked wider because they were darker. But fingerprint die scratches are a match on most of them. (Slightly different die states) |

That's awesome. The op's coin shows so much die wear it is not easy to see the doubling, but only an expert Eye can detect that.Nice find.
