Pocket Change...
This year's cents are much better known for their yield in repunched mint marks than in doubled dies. Although there are some pretty nice doubled dies, the number and quality pale in comparison to their one-letter counterparts. obverse - Other than for a few notable cases, doubled dies should be expected to be limited in number and scope. In general, pay attention to the L in LIBERTY, the eyelid area, and to the motto. Do not be fooled by very light doubling in the WE area, as this is a common anomaly caused by a master die. reverse - For Philadelphia minted cents this is a year with a few very nice reverse doubled dies and little else to report. Although the ones with nice spread are very noticeable, they also tend to be somewhat common. Class 5 and class 6 seem to fit the general majority of reverse doubled dies this year.

the proof...
Proof cents this year, like many other years surrounding 1960 tend to be quantitatively productive for minor doubled dies, with very few making merit for special mention. obverse - A short list of very nice date size doubled dies (small date over large date) top the list by far in what to be watching for. It may also be worth mentioning to look out for the L in LIBERTY for the minor bar style doubled die. reverse - This year's proof cent sports a few rather minor reverse doubled dies. Most are class 2, 5, 6, or a combination of these.
