Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 03/27/2022 5:44 pm I've seen these a lot on late 60's/early 70s cents. I had Wexler look at one and he said it is die abrasion, so just a form Die Deterioration Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 03/27/2022 6:03 pm Very interesting and great closeups. Certainly looks like there is an extra column to the left of column #7 (above the statue) as well as an extra ceiling. I like it. EDIT: Quote: ... he said it is die abrasion Hmmm, well I'll be. I didn't expect die abrasion as sharp as the raised vertical line is? There even appears to be a secondary statue head and arm to the SW as well in these images. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 03/27/2022 6:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 03/27/2022 7:18 pm I don't believe most variety people agree with the term 'abrasion doubling' anymore, but yeah that's what Wexler calls it (scroll down to the 1971 cent example here: http://www.doubleddie.com/144864.html ) Error-ref says the explanation of this as die abrasion is a myth: http://www.error-ref.com/abrasion-doubling/ I do think 'abrasion doubling' is likely a misnomer for this doubling on the 1969-1972 cents. You don't see any other signs of abrasion on some examples (scratches/thinning of devices) and they're usually in later die states. Just an unusual form of Die Deterioration.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8786 Posts	Posted 03/27/2022 9:52 pm To me, it just looks like a heavy handed mint worker. Wonder what they were they trying to covering up? I know some of the only DDR's for the D and S mints that year were in bay 6. -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 03/28/2022 08:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
