Hello everybody
i found this cent looking at rolls of circulated coins today. i don't see it on the site or it may be one of the coins that there is no photo of. in any case i would like to know what it is (besides a cent) lol
it looks the be a triple MM i know the shelf and rounded things between MD and DD but have not seen one like this in the date.the statue also looks doubled but it's not easy to see because it is circulated but i think i see two sets of feet and hands. any one see this before?

Obv looks strike doubled.
It has the same shift on the date and MM and the doubling looks flat.

I would say that was part of the strike doubling. The extra mark that you see is still in the direction of the machine doubling. It is was on the lower serif or West it could have been a strike double and a possible RPM. But because of the direction being the same, it got to be part of the machine doubling.
Keep looking Gary. They are out there.
I found a DDR once that on the right 1/2 was a doubled die on the left 1/2 it was strike doubled. So both can happen to the same coin. If the coin was a RPM or DD, the machine can be loose and make strike doubling.
Its kind of like owning a nice car (doubled die) and damaging a finder on it (machine doubling) so what do you have?
A nice car that is wrecked. So both can happen on the same coin. In order to determine which is which, strike doubling distorts. A doubled die adds size/add splits to the numbers/letters/details of the coin.

The bulb inside the lower part of the mintmark is common to most 1970S cents. The coin is simple strike doubling. The reverse doesn't show anything I can see.
