Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 05/11/2024 9:23 pm @alon, I agree Machine Doubling, but remember it can't be split plating if the cent isn't plated. You only need to worry about that on cents dated 1982 and later.

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10566 Posts	Posted 05/11/2024 10:26 pm MD - you don't get split plating until late 1982 when the zinc planchets were then used to make cents - Report this Post to the Staff
