elliottite Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 10/25/2022 10:23 pm Hello, this beauty was found in a roll while on a hunt. To my untrained eye, I would like to say thats a double ear. Also on the reverse it looks as though there was a possible die clash maybe. The indentions look like they are behind the columns. Kinda cool. I am also wondering if that is doubling on LIBERTY. Especially in the B. And would that be doubling to the south on GOD? But like I said, my untrained eye. I would love to hear what the experts say about it. Thank you very much. This place rocks.

shantiom Pillar of the Community United States 522 Posts	Posted 10/25/2022 11:59 pm very curious to learn about the reverse die clash (that pattern is common on the reverse of the jailed Lincoln die clash on the obverse in 1983 cents), the DDO is hard to tell with the photos, and the double ear is interesting be die gouge Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8750 Posts	Posted 10/26/2022 05:25 am There may be some light MD on the obverse but do not see a doubled die. The ear took a hit, just PMD. You are correct about the reverse, those are remnants of a clash, still showing after the mint worker tried to get rid of it, on the die. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 10/26/2022 06:14 am I have a 5000-coin canvas bag of uncirculated 1974-D cents with the same features as your coin. You may also want to check to see if your coin is too thick on one side and too thin on the other. Almost all of the coin that were in my mint-sewn bag have a tilted die strike as well. Here's a graded example. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/26/2022 3:11 pm So much for there opinion. Just a die clash issue on the die: Possible lathe lines on the left side of the reverse bays, or sanding marks on the bays? Report this Post to the Staff
