Found this the other night and cannot find any listings for 1999. Sometimes the class 9 DDO's are difficult to determine if something else is going on. Any suggestions?

"To me, it looks like the coolest strategically placed linear plating blister I've ever seen. Notice the other round bumps on the plating, those are plating blisters. By the one, the blister is in a line formation.
Blistered Plating (also called plating bubbles): Gas bubbles that form under the copper plating on copper-plated zinc planchets. Gasses or contaminants that get trapped under the plating expand from the resulting heat and pressure during the strike, causing the plating to push up. These bubbles can vary widely in scope and appearance ranging from small scattered bumps to large elongated or “linear” blisters."

Provided Answers: 104I would think struck thru also but I am not 100% sure... Could you get a full obv image??? The distortion on all the lettering looks to be going in at least 2 different directions and has distorted the devices heavily... If this were a DD I would expect distortion on Abes bow tie and in the hair areas???

Provided Answers: 11Lincoln looks pretty even It must be distortion from filled dies or weak strike or struck twice.

Provided Answers: 104I also see the notching on the LRTY... The extra thick horizontal bar looks to have taken a hit making it thicken out a little... If the notching on the LRTY was from a DD I would expect it to be on IBE also!!! Originally Posted by Petespockets55

Provided Answers: 104If memory serves me correctly the Class 9 designation is used to distinguish between the Class 6 of the double squeeze era and the same type doubling of the single squeeze era for the One Cent... Maybe a message to have Bob come check would help make a proper determination!!!

Provided Answers: 400Coppercoins uses the Class 9 designation on dies hubbed with the single squeeze method. This coin is definitely struck through grease. There is little doubt about that.
