epazk77 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 2:11 pm Hi Everyone. Yesterday I found this 1993 Lincoln Penny while coin hunting. I'm not really sure what I have here. Is this a double die? Machine Doubling? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 2:17 pm Looks like the copper plating has stretched and given way so that you can see the underlying zinc core. That is split plate doubling. Also, welcome to CCF!

epazk77 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 2:48 pm Thank you for the welcome. Does anyone else see doubling in the "G" in God, the "S" and "T" in states, and the "O" in one? Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 3:46 pm to the CCF! Sorry, no added value for Split Plate Doubling. Now that the zinc is exposed, the coin may start to corrode if the coin is exposed to the elements. The Zlincolns are prone to this form of "Coin Leprosy."

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 3:47 pm Split plating doubling does not carry a premium, but as @ijn points out you could still save it as an exemplar.

mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 9:22 pm There is one caveat before totally relying upon Coppercoins findings. Become your own expert by totally understanding the fundamentals of double die confirmations. You cannot get any better at perfecting your own skills unless you can add something new to coop's hard work: http://goccf.com/t/271673&SearchTerms=machine,hub Report this Post to the Staff
