Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 5:24 pm Go to error-ref.com and look up "plating blister." They take all sorts of shapes and appear anywhere on one of these pennies. Sometimes they coincidentally look like art of the design and trick people into thinking they have fund something rare. However, when you understand the minting process and how dies are made for minting coins, you will understand it is impossible for an (actual) extra design element to occur. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/21/2022 1:52 pm If it were double struck then all the devices would be affected: Thus the only explanation of the Linear Plating bubble. Single digits are not added to the dies, since 1908. They are all on the master hub to start with: So a single digit could not happen. We call this Pareidolia: Not what you think you are seeing.
