Hinkle Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Hi everyone, I remember reading in a thread that VDBs on penny's pretty much don't count or has no interest in any kind of errors and varietys.I need to find that thread again. So I have this coin, would this be a ddo or something other. Pretty cool and interesting. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) I would say that is die erosion "doubling" from a well overused die. You can see the strong metal flow "lines" on the obverse going out towards the rim which is an indication of dies that are overused and nearing the end of their production life. I think true incuse doubling looks different than this. Edited November 11, 2023 by powermad5000 Coinbuf and Mike Meenderink 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coinbuf Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 @powermad5000 is correct this is the effect of die erosion; it makes for an interesting conversation piece but has no numismatic value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
