    Was this done at the mint or after. I found a similiar penny on youtube at 0.21 .
    I dont know how they grade error coins and is it worth the slabbing it. I dont think it is.

    Things like that are almost always damaged.
    There are lists of mint errors with photos. It doesn't hurt to brush up.

    That picure was taken a few weeks back. If it was i probably threw it back in the return pile. Im new at this. What would something like that be worth anyways?

    Well I am not sure. But on eBay there are some examples going for 6 bucks. Others in high grade slabbed one was going for 45$. But that's a ms62

    When trying to ascertain what is going on with a coin such as this, it is often best to consider Occam's razor. It is important to have even a most basic understanding of the minting process when trying to make such a determination, but still, simply ask yourself what is more likely: that a coin displaying clear damage also just happens to be a rare and/or valuable error, or damage is also the cause of whatever anomaly you're questioning.

    There, of course, can be the exceptions, but when it comes to such things, much, much more often than not the most obvious and simplest answer is also the correct one.

    Just to let you know I was talking about a coin in his video, not the one he posted a question about. 1989 D looks like it could have been a ddo but wanted better pics

    It is not a DD in my opinion. The line indicated on the '9' would make the normal width of the non-doubled die '9' way too narrow if the right side is the doubling effect. I do not think you lost more than a cent. Jim
