1992 Doubled Die Penny?

At first, I thought this was a doubled die cent, but the "doubling" is mostly silver. It looks like the zinc layer might be showing around the edges of the design elements. Parts of the obverse appear to have been struck too lightly. What's going on?

Photos are too blurry. Try to put the coin down and photograph it. It also looks like you used digital zoom. I recommend a simple camera phone and a 10x loupe instead.

 

Not perfect, but the best I can do with what I have.

 

Sorry, but I'm unable to help you based on these photos. I don't see any doubling. At this point, I could name any number of errors or non errors.

 

Thanks

 

Your cent has nothing to do with a Doubled Die
It is what is called Split Plating
Quote - "Definition: Split plating occurs when the copper plating is stretched too thin causing it separate. This separation usually occurs immediately after a design element and has a direction towards the rim of the coin affected." closed quote

I'd agree that part of it is split plating but that die has been struck twice as well.

 

You mean the coin.. not the Die

All I see is Struck through on the Obverse. Missing Last 9 and missing L in Liberty on the left. Also faint TRUST

Also.. a Double Struck coin is not a Doubled Die.. big difference

 

Yes, thanks, I meant coin not die. I agree that this is not a doubled die coin, but it has been double struck. I think I've seen one before; it belongs to my grandfather in law, it's just foreign...

 

I know your coin. That is a famous Doubled Die.. not Double struck.
Here is a similar Brazilian Coin also a Doubled Die (not my coin)

 

I found it in his junk coin bin I didn't know it was famous, but it definitely stuck out to me. Sorry for hijacking the thread!

 

Thank you for the answer!

 

Is that a common error or a rarity?

 

Hello! Here in Brazil common people no have knowing about rare coins. The small coins like 1, 5 and 10 cents are often forgotten at home because they are low value coins. Many others are lost on the streets. Almost all coins between 1998 and 2001 are considered scarce coins. Like comparison: the coin posted in top of the page (10 cents of 2000); were introduced only 26.880.000 of standard coins into circulation, the year of higher production were introduced 610.176.000. Then, it is worth keeping any of these in the collection.

 

What. About this one

 

Is there Ravenna 1992 d ddo

is this a 1992d ddo

 

Is that 1992 a wide AM? Can anyone else see it?

 

I'm still learning how to distinguish a lot of the errors Sheila but I would say it's a wide am. If it's close, don't they have to be just about touching?

 

I believe it is a wide AM. If it is, it is valuable.
