The lettering and date on the obverse of this coin seem extremely fat IMO. Could this be a doubled die? Thank you in advance for your help and input! Report this Post to the Staff

Check here for doubled dies so you get used to seeing what they look like:http://doubleddie.com/ http://varietyvista.com/ http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.php John1 Edited by John1 04/04/2022 2:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BlueCrab504 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 04/04/2022 3:40 pm John1 The reason I said it wouldn't stick to magnet is because I was eliminating that it could be a plated penny from the kids science project from back in the day. Report this Post to the Staff
