UFO new discovery

On the upside of the 64 Lincoln penny God is spelled with 2 g's 1D and on the reverse of this penny, the M looks like it's been double stamps or triple or could just be damaged but I would appreciate your opinion.

A Lincoln working die strikes close to 1 million cents before being retired. Working dies are made from the same master hub per se, so that means all of the working dies are made to look the same design wise. Some might have varieties (doubled dies or RPMs) but they will all genrally look the same.

So there is no way this coin was struck with 2 Gs if you will. Some foriegn countries may have made mistakes in the past like this, but the coins of USA are typically free of blunders like

In my opinion this coin suffers from post mint damage, but we dont know if was intentionally done like in a garage or it simply got hung up in a coin counter or wrapping machine or hundreds of different scenarios.

Photos get pretty unfocused when attempting to zoom in.

I will get a better camera to take a picture and post it

I don't have a camera that can take a better picture I just ordered a 1600x zoom microscope that takes pictures I will repost when I can get some better pictures sorry to have wasted your time

Give this a try, and see if you can get a clear and close photo of the GGd, but I am with ME on this , a well place hit on the "O" or as he stated the other scenario would deform the "O" in to looking like this. I believe the Hub used during this time was quite on its way of being worn out and was finally retired in 1968 ? I will research this again though.

No time wasted. It's all good.

The microscope power for coins is typically best at 80 power or less. At 80, it might fit one letter or two under magnification. I don't know the settings on yours, if it is adjustable. A lot of people like the units that have a memory slot on the new fangled microscopes, so images can be taken and transfered to USB or a memory card, not having to take a photo with a phone and then using that. Photographs of monitors via a phone can show that grainy look as well.

Most of this paragraph i probably said in a post above but, The "O" could have been hit by by a coin counter, coin wrapper or other PMD. It could be superficial, a lamination area raised. A clear photo of that area would simply show if it was damaged cent (more than likely), a very slight chance at a broken O on the die, superficial lamination, or handfuls of other situations. Again, I am sticking with PMD.

If you look closely at the G and broken O, you can see a marked difference in appearance.
