It is a superb specimen as far as eye appeal and is uncirculated. I never thought about it being doubled in any way as it doesn't have the hallmarks in what I look for in a Lincoln Cent. I know, two very different monsters. I looked at VV and looked at a 1936 D Buffalo nickel and this one bears a remarkable resemblance to the 36 D on VV. The dot between UNITED and STATES is enlarged and slightly elongated an the tops of the devices are identical. The last pic was borrowed from VV. Tell me what you think.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 01/13/2020 5:49 pm Are you talking about the tops or the base of the "T"? The tops are Die Deterioration, but there is something weird at the bottom of the first "T" Report this Post to the Staff
