1stlady19 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 04/05/2023 03:29 am Hello. I came across this penny & I know it's damaged but does this look like it has an extra collar? Letters in liberty sometimes looked doubled & is it normal the letters & the "1956" are different sizes? What ya think? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 04/05/2023 07:13 am @1st, when you say extra "collar", are you referring to Abe's bow tie or the ring around the periphery of the coin?

1stlady19 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 04/05/2023 12:30 pm Sorry guys. I didn't add the reverse side because it looked normal. It was late & not thinking. Lol. I'm adding it now. There's definitely something underneath his beard that looks like an extra or doubled collar. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/06/2023 1:16 pm The bottom of the '6' is showing working hub damage, thus the missing area on the bottom of that digit. This die created several varieties, but the broken hub issue, is not a die variety, but just a working hub issue that created that die. There are DDO / DDR/RPMs from this broken hub issues, but just a marker for these dies, not part of the variety. Report this Post to the Staff
