Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 876 Posts	Posted 01/06/2023 6:14 pm I am holding off on full images and details for now. Just wondering if you saw this on a strike if it would make you look twice. Is this hub doubling? A bounce? I have to rule out MD due to no "shelf-like" appearance and perhaps a slight widening of the devices. It only occurs on the devices shown on the reverse side. Normal obverse. What type of doubling is this. Even though the images may be poor, you see pretty much what I do. Share your opinions please. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 01/06/2023 6:29 pm @dow, can you please add the date, mintmark, and denomination of this cent to the title of your thread? Including this information improves the search ability of the threads. Thx.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8748 Posts	Posted 01/06/2023 8:01 pm I never had it explained to me, although asked a few times, with multiple examples. This would appear to be a zincoln from the 80's and the best I can tell, it's some sort of plating and zinc deformation. Possibly sinking in the centers of the devices, and creating, what almost looks like doubling. Seen it many times before and just finally wrote it off as a zinc and plating issue.... -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 876 Posts	Posted 01/06/2023 8:24 pm Well of course I know the date and mint. I am just asking if this appears to be a doubled die or not to the trained eyes out there. I am just cautious here. There are know reverse varieties for this example in these locations. My worry is, that if it does not match the 2 listed for this date, it will just be considered as something other than true doubling as no exact examples are attributed. The details of the coin disregarded, do you see any possible doubling here? 1980's is correct. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8748 Posts	Posted 01/06/2023 8:32 pm It is not hub doubling and more than likely an 83. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

For all I knew the coin you are showing wasn't your and all you had to show was these images up above. You still didn't even answer the simple question.

Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 01/06/2023 8:47 pm @dow, please open a new thread with a complete title. I think that I have made a very reasonable request. From the CCF rules: Quote: The title of your topic is very important. This enables the members with expertise pertaining to your question to easily find and answer your question. The title of the topic also becomes the title of the topic's web page, which enables us to attract more collectors to the site. The more members we have, the more we learn. Topic titles must be at least 20 characters in length. Please don't think it's appropriate to just add random characters or words irrelevant to the the to "fill in" so the topic goes through. It's not and the topic will likely be removed. Let's say you need help attributing an 1896 Morgan dollar....
