bjsturg Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 07/31/2025 4:01 pm I found this coin in a roll. The coin has seen its dings but please tell me I am not crazy when I say...Class IV Double Die offset Hub Doubling(Wexlar)? Both Obverse and reverse are showing errors. Please advise, and thank you. NOTE: The whole picture of obverse/reverse are a bit blurry but the coin scope shows better. Report this Post to the Staff

The plating disturbance info says it is raised from the surface but how do you tell that from pictures? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 07/31/2025 6:10 pm Agreed, this is Die Deterioration Doubling. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

The plating disturbance info says it is raised from the surface but how do you tell that from pictures? In my very limited novice experience, the plating disturbance goes in multiple directions, not just towards the rim, you can see this in the OP's coin. Also, I see little or no heavy flow lines or sunburst that you will see from a highly deteriorated die. Lastly, that is the first thing that pops into my head when I see this type of anomaly with a zincoln, Occam's razor, and then look for what does not support Die Deterioration. To me, it most definitely looks raised. Just my opinion though, still learning with you, Marve. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
bjsturg Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 08/01/2025 08:27 am Hey appreciate the comments. When first noticed the Date shows like a doubling. Report this Post to the Staff

You were correct in what you saw, just not the kind of doubling you want to find. This is extremely common and just an issue with this particular coin type, copper plated zinc coins have many issues. Stay at it and ask questions, you will learn if you stick with it. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Yeah, just when I thought I had Split Plating, MD, and DDD down, along comes "Plating Disturbance" to really throw confusion into the mix! Report this Post to the Staff
