Gus44 Valued Member Brazil 59 Posts	Posted 03/12/2025 01:52 am Hello everyone! I saw a video that talked about this coin, I went to check if mine had it and I came across this mark. Could it be a double die obverse? Thank you to everyone who responded. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 03/12/2025 07:08 am Terminology correction, coins are struck or minted, banknotes are printed. I see no doubling on your cent, I do see a lot of minor anomalies that are showing because of your photos being enlarged so much. Just about any coin with the size increased by that much will show some sort of defect. A TPG only uses a 5X loop when grading coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 03/12/2025 10:55 am All I'm seeing on this cent is die polishing marks. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Gus44 Valued Member Brazil 59 Posts	Posted 03/12/2025 2:13 pm Thank you all for your comments, just one detail I saw on the coin and just out of curiosity I'm posting this photo. It looks like Lincoln has two eyes, I know it's not a double, but it looks interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10484 Posts	Posted 03/12/2025 8:35 pm Looks more like random circulation hits (reed marks?) - but what do I know. Edited by Marv65 03/12/2025 8:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Gus44 Valued Member Brazil 59 Posts	Posted 03/13/2025 5:05 pm Another question for learning reasons. What causes these marks on the coin as shown in the photos below? Thank you Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/13/2025 6:23 pm If you look at a coin long enough, you can find anything you want to. We've all done it. It's called, Pareidolia. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 03/13/2025 7:14 pm Increasing the size of your photo that much will show minor anomalies on nearly any coin. If you have to increase it by more than 5X, it is irrelevant as it won't be recognized by any of the top graders. Show a photo at 5X and then look if you can see anything.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73688 Posts	Posted 03/14/2025 01:17 am Looks pretty normal. I'm only seeing Die Polishing lines and Pareidolia. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Gus44 Valued Member Brazil 59 Posts	Posted 03/15/2025 3:03 pm Thanks for the comments. While searching for Double Die references, I found these photos, and I also used them as a reference for the zoom. I'm going to make this last post with a photo to clear up any doubts that arose with the references. Thanks for your patience, I'm learning and I need to understand the differences between these minting defects. Report this Post to the Staff
