I have taken some time to try to learn about different error types and I wanted to know what kind of doubling you think this is. Thanks.

The doubling on the 9 and the 2 is rounded, so I was thinking it might be hub doubling, but I am not sure. I looked on the CONECA site, but can't find anything to compare it with.

It appears to be plating "push" doubling although this is one of the most defined examples I've seen.Might be worthy of an in-hand examination by somebody like Bob Piazza just to be sure.

It appears part of the 2 is missing. So it could have been from a overly polished die along with "pushed" plating.

It also looks like it might be grease filled. ie God We Tru....I think that I would send a photo off and see what they have to say. At any rate you have a great looking coin. :w

Thanks to everyone for responding to my post.
Here are a couple more pictures. Look forward to hearing what you think.
Also, I am very new to this...where would be the best place to send the coin for more examination?

Thanks! I am printing out my CONECA membership application now....I haven't had a bunch of time to research anything, but I am anxious to learn more.

Let me just say that the second gripe of photos makes me think my first assessment was correct..there is quite a bit of die deterioration around the perimeter of the coin which seems to accompany the plating push I mentioned.

So...I got a good loupe and when I turned the coin at an angle I could definately see that it was caused by pushing. Bummer!

Don't give up. You'd be surprised how many pennies you have to go through to find something really good sometimes. The important thing is to have your eye out. :thumbsup:
