Jarr99 Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 05/16/2018 11:20 am I've recently been going back through pennies that I have saved, looking for some new varieties. I was just wondering, if this 1981 Penny would be considered a doubled die? Report this Post to the Staff

Without having it in hand to pin down specific markers (that probably would not still be evident), between the pics and the state of the coin, who knows. If you're in it to find and collect, keep it. If your motivation is a cash return, throw it back. Edited by NewMember 05/16/2018 3:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/16/2018 4:12 pm When coins have "wide" devices it is an indication of one of two factors. Result of a Grease Filled Die or smashed in circulation. The Grease Fill as shown fills the narrow tip of the device making a shallow, wide appearance. Circulation wears and compresses these devices. Report this Post to the Staff
