After reading of 1951 Double die post, I went back to my 1951 pennies. Intead of finding one DD, I realise I had this one. The first one is very weak. I took the picture in angle to increase the profil. I would say arounf EF-40/45.

I might think the die was plugged with something.

Can you take a clear close up shot of the area you are questioning?

Not a bad photo but it's really dark, hard for me to see anything.

Possible grease-filled die issue?

Good eye... I'd agree with this being a grease-plugged die.

I still can't tell with the pictures, it could just be an extremely worn down 1 lol, I have no way to alter or look at this photo though like many if the experts here like @SPP-Ottawa, I'm just here on my phone. I'd like to see more photos with some better lighting though:).

I try to change the light in the picture. Don't know if you can see the difference on your phone. The picture lost some definition in the kings head but the very weak first 1 is more visible.
