    need advice on a1950 s possible error cent

    I have a1950 s wheat penny that I can not find on the internet an error for...
    On the reverse, the words states and america are rather hard to read, especially the last few letters.
    There cent almost looks like a double die but the letters are wavy also. Any advice or knowledge would be
    Greatly appreciated! Thank youreceived_2028005917441666.jpg

    Mike, welcome to the Forum! Even enlarging the pic, I'm having a hard time seeing it. Can you get a closer, clear pic? Maybe check out "Struck Through" in the glossary though. http://www.lincolncentforum.com/term...list-s/#Struck Through

      I'm with Jon on clearer images.
      Without them, I'm going to have to say PSD (Post Strike Damage).
      Something hitting the surface of the coin and distorting/shifting the metal out of place.

        Welcome to the forum! It does appear to be damage. Also, the correct term is doubled die

            Welcome to the LCF mikeman001! I'm guessing you are using your cell phone for pics? You can get an attachment for some phones to get closer pics that seem to work well, or if you are in the market for a camera/scope just let us know and we can direct you to some informational threads!
