Smfoley24 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/20/2020 12:42 am I don't have a coin microscope but I believe I found this particular error. The only thing that is making me second guess myself is the faintness of the D over D portion. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance everyone.

JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 615 Posts	Posted 01/20/2020 04:09 am What you are seeing is the direct result of a very poorly re-engraved master die and is quite common on 1960 small dates from both mints including proofs. It's much akin to the master die doubling seen on many of the 1972 cents which was also the direct result of a poorly re-engraved master die. Here's a great write up about the issues plaguing the 1960 cents, it should give you a better understanding of what you are seeing..... http://www.lincolncentforum.com/obv...-small-date/ Hope this helps, JDRMCB Report this Post to the Staff
