Woods020 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Welcome to the forum Carl! Doubling comes in multiple fashions. Not all of them are desirable or carry a premium. It appears your cent has machine or strike doubling. This is caused by the die moving when it contacts the planchet. This does not demand a premium and isn’t classified as a variety. True die doubling is a variety and carries varying degrees of premium. Some large some menial. I recommend comparing any potential varieties to the following website. This site lists the known and recognized varieties. If you see something on a coin that seems to match, post it on here for confirmation. But this is a great resource to familiarize yourself with. http://www.varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/DDR listing.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Welcome to the NGC Forum As stated, a classic case of Machine Doubling which is known as a worthless Doubling. Very nice pictures for your first post but in the future, please include a complete photo of both sides of the coin with your post.
