    It is machine doubling, no added numismatic value. Cheers, RickO

    The fact that it doesn't look like any of the pictures is a good indication that you don't have a doubled die example. It looks like common machine doubling to me.

    Corroded, machine doubled cent. Value: one cent.

    If the die is doubled wouldn't all coins struck with that die look the same? There would be tens of thousands of them out there and collectors would certainly be aware of them by now (1989). So when looking for doubled dies try the books first (or sites such as coppercoins.com) and then think "why is mine not the same"?

    The profuse amount of pictures provided leads me to believe that it is Machine Doubling Damage.

    The were no coins produced with a "Double Die" that I know of. One die is sufficient to produce one side of a coin.

    The term "Doubled Die" is the correct usage for what you think you have.
