Looks to be an Late Die State coin judging by the Ridge Ring so I'm hoping it isn't all Die Deterioration or plating. There is split plating below the MM. There seems to be second upper serif, a little south and west of the primary as well as nice separation on the upper curve. Thanks for any insight if this is or isn't.

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 12/27/2019 08:36 am I don't think this is an RPM. I believe it from circulation flattening. Zinc cents are notorious for flattening and appearing doubled. When moisture gets between the plating and the zinc planchet the zinc starts to erode away and when something presses against the copper plating it sinks back into the corroded zinc planchet. To make this point, look at the top of the 7 in pic 6. Edited by Jim0815 12/27/2019 08:38 am Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 12/27/2019 10:08 am Thanks Jim0815. I agree there are some issues on the date. For some reason, the images didn't come out clear even though they looked ok when taking them. Both upper curves are raised which is evident in the same image 6. There seems to be extra thickness with separation and even that extra serif. This may be one of those coins that are too "cloudy" to tell. I'll try to get clearer images tonight.
