jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1264 Posts	Posted 10/10/2022 7:54 pm While looking through my penny collection, I found this 1926 D penny with what appears to be several "errors". The unusual one is the B in Liberty. Some areas have very strong strkes and some weak. Pluribus on reverse seems to be partially doubled as well. Your thoughts, please. Having problems uploading photos.. Will try again after downsizing them. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 10/10/2022 11:13 pm U in Pluribus is a MD, LIB is characteristic for those years strike. Long time ago I asked my self about the strikes of those coins, and I find out the letters on some dies are rounded. This is not doubling, this it is just a result of reworking the Die in order to be able strike more coins, Approx. half of the coins are like this. So no mint error. Yes, in that time they use in the Mint Vertical presses with relative very elastics floor, which made the Dies press more on one side of the coins then the other part. Your coin it is almost perfect for the year. I know the photos are a challenge. For your coin I will suggest you to take a close on the date and the Mint Mark. This could be very interesting for the year. Edited by silviosi 10/10/2022 11:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
