1979 double die or Machine doubling......

Kana808

This one is kinda crazy.....because when it comes to Double Dies one key thing to look for is a clear distinctive shift in the numbering or wording. as you can see I outlines the shift but the low profile of the doubling is consistent with that of Machine doubling.

I found the same effect on both a 1978 and 1979 philadelphia minted cents when it come to Liberty.

what do you all think?

@OldEastside even with the shift of the letter like that? normally all machine doubling I have come across never has had the inset wording or lettering have a shift down its always been line with the surface image.

The area is flat and shelf-like, which is a characteristic of mechanical doubling. Also, there is no evidence of split seraphs or notches
