eagle2a1 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 10/01/2024 02:26 am Attached are a couple photos of this 1974 Penny that show what looks like some extra material at the bottom of Lincoln's feet on the Reverse. Is this plating issing, die chip or possibly some form of doubling? Thanks for all the help as always. Report this Post to the Staff
