Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 08/06/2019 3:37 pm I don't get too hung up on these things as I have seen a ton cents that show abrasion that can mimic a doubled column. I found this 1993 D LMC that may very well be a product of abrasion as you can see polishing in the corners. But, this one looks different as it is raised and rounded and follows the column perfectly. Maybe my old eyes are playing tricks on me. Thought I would post this for views on what I am seeing. BTW, I found no matches if it is a doubled column. And, I have no idea why the last pic did not orientate correctly! Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 08/06/2019 3:58 pm Certainly interesting. I'm not sure it's a doubled die though. Maybe some polishing, abrasion or grease affect? -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 08/06/2019 3:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/06/2019 4:31 pm Keep in mind the devices of the bays are on the same level as the fields. So it is the outside of the die. Any polishing/isolated polishing affects these devices directly. So if there was a clash on that area, and they were trying to remove it, then it would alter that field area called the bay. That is what you are seeing. When we see images with a microscope, we forget how magnified it is. So we forget how even the slightest change, we see it on the images.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74060 Posts	Posted 08/06/2019 5:24 pm My opinion is it's a product of an over polished die issue. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
