The neck on the bust looks like it has Machine Doubling on that area. So I'm wondering if your seeing Machine Doubling. (which is not a doubled die. A doubled die comes from coins struck with a doubled die) Report this Post to the Staff

And I do see what you mean but I think it might be the mint cello wrapper causing the shadow I'll look again closer Edited by Roagan 09/05/2021 12:14 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/05/2021 11:46 am The cause of design creep is that the die was not tempered correctly. So the die starts to spread so much that devices fall over the edges of the coins. There was a issue on the 1973 cents where there was an internal issue that affected the memorial dies. But this was noticed on several devices. But on your coin, it looks normal. Note the rim is present. On the one I posted there is no rim at all. So it is just an aging die issue.
