What you have is an 8 that has taken a slight hit on one side pushing the metal over slightly distorting the number. A larger clearer photo of the date would probably show this better Edited by JimmyD 08/25/2021 4:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 08/25/2021 9:04 pm @jack, when I crop, enlarge, and enhance your pic, the number 8 looks relatively normal, although as noted a better pic might help.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/25/2021 9:08 pm A lot of Machine Doubling is seen on the 1968-1972 cents. But a closer view would be more help to us: Note how closer images helps us see what is really there? Edited by coop 08/25/2021 9:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
