Found this in a roll lately. 1992D/OVER 1992D, Double dated.

I belive that this is actually a form of doubling caused by excessive wear of the die, or possibly by over polishing of the die, I can't remember which. I'm sure someone will explain which one it is. Unfortunately, although it looks pretty neat, there is little to no value for this form of doubling.

If it is Machine Doubling I would still say that it holds premium simply because I've never seen one that dramatic before.

Great example of machine (strike) doubling.
I would keep it as a member of my 'learning set'.
Thanks for sharing.

This doubling is caused by the plating shifting in a sense during the strike.
This is a very common occurrence on copper plated zinc cents. This one is a good example of it but a premium, if any would be minimal.
Thanks, Bill

Looks like common Machine Doubling. On a double die, the two dates would be almost equally strong and level (see the 1955 for a striking example)

That is very dramatic MD. I consider this a keeper.

I would to, its easily worth at least a dollar or two just because of how dramatic it is. I've personally have never seen one the distinct before.
