Broken Hub

Definition: A broken hub is any hub (master or working), that has either the whole or part of a design element broken away and missing from that hub.

This 1936P Lincoln cent was hubbed with a working hub that had the left leg of the R in LIBERTY missing. It was also hubbed with a normal working hub as well. Notice in the pictures above how the left leg on the R appears thinner than the other components of this letter. This particular working die also has a doubled die (1936P-1DO-003). Photographs by Chuck Daughtrey.

This is the same broken working hub that was used on the above working die. However, this time the working die was hubbed twice with the same broken hub. This coin was photographed and presented to this site by Ed Games.
