1941 Wheat Penny Doubled "Ty"?

Anyone?

Thanks jbuck it gives me hope, I have been triying to find out what this is for sometime now and its killing me to find out.

I am far from an expert, but I THINK the ty of liberty may be something. but I can't tell anything from the rest. The top of the 4 may be a master hub defect, I remember reading about it somewhere and in Charles's book, "looking through lincoln cents" he shows an image of a 41 d rpm where the 4 looks the same as yours. Just remember I have often been wrong and will surely be again.

twangator, I don't see anything that would lead me to believe there is and doubling. I see post mint damage, Die Deterioration and probably Machine Doubling but wait until coppercoins, coop or some of the others look at it. I don't see anything that looks like device spread or separation.

Thank you to all. I guess this is not what I thought it was (a doubled die).

This needs to be on the 'Variety and Error' section.

I agree with Gary on this one. Looks like Machine Doubling on the TY. Certain areas of a Machine Doubling happen differently from coin to coin. On a doubled die, something is doubled. If you note the size of the devices to another normal coin, they are the same size and sometimes thinner than normal. On a doubled die the spread makes the devices wider/taller/doubled. So being also circulated that beats a coin up and makes the devices look wider, so you have to consider how it was doubled. Hub doubled, machine doubled or made wider from circulation. The first one is the one with a premium. Check out the tag below on coppercoins and note the affect the hub doubling makes on those doubled dies.

There are over 30 different ones to look at.
