Hinkle Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 This sure looks like doubling to me, but I could be wrong. If not, e'm I getting close to what one might look like. Very interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleRJO Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Might just be an optical delusion with rhe grainy appearance from the pics. I don't see anything else with a doubled appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sucks on the zinc penny's is, or I feel to much bubbles, grainy as you mentioned and just poorly minted. Your right when the coin has alot of that going on, its seeing optical illusion. I still like to stick with cooper, I feel there more desirable when looking for errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very often with the current single squeeze method the mint uses to make dies the doubling will only be in the center of the coin and not affect the outer lettering or designs. Having said that, I do not see anything that looks like a doubled ear on the op's coin. Hinkle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
