Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 06/08/2010 04:47 am I suspect that is a gas bubble. Not sure of the "technical" explanation, but when they changed from copper to zinc cents, the zinc cents sometimes get these bubbles in them. I assume the copper plating isn't adhering to the zinc properly. Report this Post to the Staff

Darth Anarchus Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 06/08/2010 11:21 am That looks exactly like what happens on the "Logsplitter" 'extra thumb' so-called variety... I never would've guessed gas bubble but I would like to see what more of the experts have to say about it Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/08/2010 11:52 am Umm, well. It doesn't look like the 2009 cent doubled dies - wrong design. The doubling on those is the thumb, and there is no thumb to double on this design. The image is not of high enough quality to figure out exactly what the anomaly is, but from its position it appears to be a gas bubble. Report this Post to the Staff
Darth Anarchus Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 06/08/2010 12:05 pm sorry to get this thread side-tracked but wouldnt a doubl-die have to mean more than doubling on the thumb or finger? I thought a double-die had to encompass the design as a whole... Report this Post to the Staff

Your question is a valid question, but asking it inside someone else's thread about a different subject is considered hijacking the thread - not nice. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, so just ask your question in a new thread and I'll be over to answer it. Report this Post to the Staff
