I'm aware of the doubling errors for this penny but I've not heard or read of any errors like this for this particular cent. Any ideas or oppinions please? Report this Post to the Staff

I haven't seen this before now but I have only been collecting for a couple years now so I imagine there is a lot more I haven't come across yet.. Thanks for the feedback and new knowledge.
