(>^,^)>1991 D ERROR PENNY<(^,^<) *Looking for more information on it...

While my wife & i where searching through loose change. We came across (possibly) a beautiful error coin. We have done are due diligence in looking for information on this specific coin, but have hit a road block. I have attached a couple photos (one obverse, one reverse) doubling can be seen on any one of the words you zoom in on. Any & all information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much for the time

machine doubling, no premium

 

Unfortunately we are dealing with Zincolns (copper coated zinc cents) and this kind of appearance is not uncommon. Not really worth any premium.

 

That's Mechanical Doubling on the reverse.

Not a doubled die, and not considered an error.

More of a minor anomaly in the minting process,
but it's so common, and they are so easily found,
that there is no premium to this type of 'doubling'

It's just the copper plating splitting away from the
raised lettering as the coin is struck. Very very common.

 

So, "split plate doubling" doesn't involve actually showing zinc?

 

Thank you guys for the quick response

 

I was leaning more to worn die and DDD.

And some plate disturbance doubling on the column of the memorial.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

Thank you guys & gals for all for the information or input on the coin. I know you can only see so much from the pictures posted. I'm stuck on the "G-O-D" imprint behind "GOD". Also the "i" between "B-E" in Liberty.

 

That's what Die Deterioration does.. We've seen hundreds of examples over the years here on CoinTalk.

 

Thank you for the information or rather for helping me to identify what it is exactly.

 

It's minted on Zinc and that's a problem of it's own. Your coin is MD or mechanical doubling which is very common, especially on zinc. Welcome to CT.

 

Save for educational Piece . Nice example of MD.
