Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74845 Posts	Posted 06/30/2019 03:19 am Not a Doubled Die. A normal coin with no doubling. Only worth face value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Hifoe Valued Member United States 83 Posts	Posted 06/30/2019 04:52 am Why are the numbers raised and slightly to the south of the numbers? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 06/30/2019 07:31 am @hf, it looks to me like the glare from your lighting may make it look a little like the date is doubled. This is especially evident in your last pic.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/01/2019 9:13 pm What you are seeing is very common on the 1968-1972 cents. It is Machine Doubling. Machine Doubling also affects the doubled dies as well in very large numbers. Note the yellow arrows pointing to the affected areas. On the PCGS site, over 130 examples of Machine Doubling (like your coin were submitted and they were determined to be normal coins. Here is a memorial for all the people who paid to have graded a normal coin with Machine Doubling. (yes, on a graded coin, the third party graders do not view Machine Doubling as anything but part of the striking purpose. It is the collectors who view it as a curse.) {I feel that way that I don't want a coin with it} Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5786 Posts	Posted 07/04/2019 09:45 am Your coin appears to be struck by mid to late die state dies. This can also cause Die Deterioration Doubling which can give the appearance of "thickened/raised" letters that extend towrds the rim. Your coin seems to exhibit some of this as well.
