2000 Grease Struck & DDO?

[Wayne]

Judging by the lips,I think it's a 2000. I can see 20?? for the date.

It's a struck through grease.......but it looks to be a DDO also.

The double line on the jacket is not on other coins.It's clearly a seperated line.

What do you guys think?

[coin-crazy]

The line your talking about could be a plating issue.I kind of like that coin!!

It's a nice struck through. The supposed separation line is most likely associated with the grease somehow. That area is inconsistent with known single squeeze doubling and is too isolated and would be accompanied by doubling in many more places...

I would agree with Jason and add that I believe you're correct in dating it 2000.

also the "T"

Hard to get in the picture but the "T" in "LIBERTY" is doubled.It does not look smashed flat like machine doubling.

What about the heavy trough in the tie? Other coins do not have this.It's not a hit.

[jcuve]

Even if by some chance it was a DDO (and I do not feel it is), one would not be able to attribute it (at least initially) from this example due to the struck through error. Any anomaly observed, is more than likely connected with the struck through...

[DoubleYou]

I agree that this is not a doubled die.

more pics

well heres a few more pictures.

The "T" looks like a mix of die deterioration doubling and machine doubling. However, I do love the nice struck-through you found. I don't seem to find many dateless pennies....

[DoubleYou]

From those photos I would say that the doubling is a side effect of the struck though error.

grease and strike thru - a nice combination.
