TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 11/04/2008 06:51 am The top part of the 9 looks like it COULD be a mess, but, most likely Strike Doubling. the bottom of the 9 (the tail) looks more like a damage to the die.

BJ Neff Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 11/04/2008 12:05 pm I am fairly confident that your coin is CONECA 1940-S, DDO-001 or Coppercoins 1940S-1DO-002. As to repunched digits. It has been determined that the MINT's practice of doing such ended with the IHP. Bill O'Rourke was the one who convinced me that the date for the whole Lincoln series is engraved on the master die, whether it be one, two, three all all four digits. While there is some strong evidence that these digits were engraved, there is no evidence that the MINT employed the use of punches to enter the date onto the master die.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 11/04/2008 2:16 pm No such thing as Lincoln Cent repunched dates. Your coin is a doubled die, and a nice one. Report this Post to the Staff
