I noticed that the 'O' in 'GOD WE TRUST' is missing the bottom part. Is this post damage or a die flaw? Thank you for looking.

There is evident Die Deterioration here, but I'm guessing this was just the result of a circulation hit.

Thank you.
What do you think about this double line on the 'D'?

If the O is considered a circulation hit then the same should apply to the D

On 'GOD' We are seeing die wear on the tops of the devices of 'GO'. On the 'O' if looks like a hub chip, (not to be confused with a die chip) when the hub breaks off a device, this will show on more dies as this hub is failing and more than one die could be created by the broken hub. on 'D' that is master die doubling. On most wheat cents:

I saw this thread last night, then put two and two together once I saw the latest post about hub chips on the CoopHome thread. I see you made it here first, though!

Hint taken. May we see them?

You will also find this same issue on some 27-D's [1DO-2].

They were made from the same damaged hub.

Just checked PCGS, red coins only 9 Phillys, 6 Denvers and 4 San Francisco. So about half and half on these.

per Coop:"Just checked PCGS, red coins only 9 Phillys, 6 Denvers and 4 San Francisco. So about half and half on these."

Being new to coin terminology, I'm not sure what this means.

On the graded examples not all of them had this issue. Only parts of them were affected. With information coming from the chain of command, (die creation Proceedure)
Does-This-1927-Penny-Have-Die-Flaw?
If this were an issue with all the coins that year. The Master hub could have been doubled that year.
If this were an issue with 50% of the coin, the master die could have been affected. (Note on the image above there are only two of these created)
Next step down is the Working hubs, if they were affected they would pass on down the line the same issues. (in this case a broken hub device) There would be several working dies created with this issue. Not that it is a premium, it would explain why these dies were creating cents with the same issue. (weakness of the one device)
I'm not seeing enough of these to declare it was a master hub issue, but I feel it was a working hub issue. Also for the fact that the device was missing, tells me it was a working hub issue. If it were a working master die issue, the same die chip would be passed on down the chain of command.

CoopHome: What does an example of a working hub issue show on coins?

This is also seen on other years on the devices with small areas missing on the devices:

If it were a broken die issue, the void on the die would be seen as a raised area, called a die chip. (very common)

Check out CoopHome. Note it turns blue? That will take you to a quick study on various subjects. It is now up to 7 pages now. Subjects with educational images to help you see what I see on a coin.
