coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/14/2020 12:01 pm That area of the '2' is affected by master die doubling on 50% of the cents from all mints that year. I do find the '9' showing an affected area at 11:00. So you might want to look closer for other hub doubling. Or it may be well placed contact mark? Report this Post to the Staff
TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 11/14/2020 12:09 pm Thank you for encouraging me to keep investigating! I tried posting a closer look Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/14/2020 12:18 pm Thanks for the extra images, but it show us that it is Machine Doubling on that area. Note the pushed metal on those digits. But keep in mind the images of the '9'. That is the first thing to look at for that year. The altered '9' is a secret thing to look for on the DDO's for that year. Save the second image I posted. That will remind you what to look for on the DDO's that year. Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 11/14/2020 12:48 pm This is a Memorial cent, not a Wheat cent. Wheat cents were minted 1909-1958. Report this Post to the Staff
