mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2961 Posts	Posted 09/09/2021 08:13 am Im sure coop will be around to help out, but this is a classic case of Die Deterioration Doubling and copper plating issues with the zinc causing all those bubbles all over the place. A true double die will actually look a bit different than Die Deterioration. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/09/2021 08:42 am The right answer is already been posted. Note the color of the cent. Someone cleaned with it vinegar. Thus the pink color. What they missed is that the mintmark is also affected. Just a spendable coin unless you want to save it as an educational piece to show to a new collector as what each event was that altered the coin. (improper cleaning and a aging die issue) Also the obverse is showing a minor MAD (Mis-Aligned-Die)issue. Three subjects to cover on one coin. Not collectable as the devices are not falling over the edge of the coin. But still no premium. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19226 Posts	Posted 09/09/2021 09:08 am Yes, yes. Die Deterioration doubling--pretty nice example at that. Not uncommon with zinc core Lincoln cents of that era. Report this Post to the Staff
