Jake06 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 04/18/2019 11:46 pm I found this 1988 penny in my pocket change and started looking and noticed that the A is doubled or stamped twice and there are dots above both T in united states. The dots are similar to the ones beside e pluribus unum. Has any seen a coin of this year like this before? Sorry I didnt provide a pic of the front but it appears that the bow is doubled/stamped again. I just started researching coins, any help on this is much appreciated. Thanks.

Second, when I rotate your pic, it looks to me like the first letter of AMERICA has some light me hanical doubling present. MD is quite common and does not bring a premium generally.

The dots could be plating bubbles but I can't tell for sure from your photos. In the future include a full coin photo of both sides of the coin. It may not have helped in this case but sometimes it does. Keep hunting. Your eye will get better over time and please post anything you have a question about. Report this Post to the Staff
