Let me know what you guys think, pictures really don't do this one justice ] Edited by CoinTheTerm 09/04/2019 11:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 77510 Posts	Posted 09/04/2019 11:07 pm That's Die Deterioration Doubling, from the die getting worn down from striking a ton of planchets at the U.S Mint. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinTheTerm Pillar of the Community United States 1161 Posts	Posted 09/04/2019 11:14 pm Die Deterioration even with split serifs? especially evident on the center bar of the E in CENT? not questioning your feedback just trying to learn how to spot a true DDR Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 77510 Posts	Posted 09/04/2019 11:29 pm You may have splits, but it wasn't caused by a DDR unfortunately. Machine Doubling and Die Deterioration Doubling can cause what we think are "splits" and stuff. Here's what a true Doubled Die looks like. Scroll down to WDDR-003, to see what a true Doubled Die Reverse. http://doubleddie.com/828886.html Also, reading up on how Doubled Dies are created will help you tremendously as well. http://doubleddie.com/58222.html Errers and Varietys.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/04/2019 11:48 pm On the obverse die there is a strong over polishing issue that weakened the date and right side of the bust area. But I'm not seeing a DDR on this coin. The ONE CENT area has been polished down probably to remove a clash from the head on the reverse. But nothing really stands out. Report this Post to the Staff
