Error MDD | Lincoln penny 1983 - Small Y - MD or DD ?

[Guest]

Hi,

There is a small Y in Liberty on this coin.I'm not sure if it is a DD or MD on back... Look DD but i'm not an expert. There are lot of polish on two sides.

















Thank you!

While trying to remove die clash lines in the field, the devices suffer. They are larger at the base of the device and narrower deep into the die. The Y is smaller because the field is reduced. I've seen this before on the 1 in the date as well.

Hi,

Add UNITED picture :



I found an interesting link : http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/d...&die_state=mds

UNITED and ONE are very similar. Maybe it is something like that.

Thank you Jason!

UNITED in your picture appears to be a case of machine doubling and die deterioration, not a doubled die (if that's what you were trying to say).

Hi Simonm,

Yes, i understand what you say; it look like MD. I'm surprise to see straight lines on each letters (where oxydation stop). MD are not exactly like that... but as i said i'm not an expert. Lincoln look smaller than normal too (maybe weak strike). For me, it is an interesting coin :-)

Thank you Simonm!
