I found a 1984-D Cent with multiple D's

I found a 1984-D penny and right above the e in liberty is what looked to be a deep jagged scratch. I looked at it in a magnifying glass and it is a row of "D's", 5 of them. Any idea what this is worth? I tried to download a picture but couldn't.

1984-D penny picture

ok managed to get an attachmet, let me know if it is zoomed enough

 

Sorry, tried 1000x and just cannot see it

 

look above the word liberty, there are 5 D's on top of each other in a colum like the penny got stuck in the stamper

 

posted the picture below, thanks

 

Whatever it is, it isn't a result of "the penny getting stuck in the stamper".

Coins are struck in a die press (an obverse die and a reverse die) at the same time. Errors do occur if the planchet isn't seated properly, or if it gets stuck on the die, or if the dies get loose.

What you're seeing may be bag marks or pmd (post mint damage- damage caused after it left the mint), It may look like "D's" but they're not.

 

I will have an expert look at it, thanks

 

Be patient.... they're all members here and show up occasionally.

 

You might consider submitting it to Wexler, Crawford or Wiles for authentication ?

 

see if those Ds match the edge of a quarter.

 

I looked, theyare partial impressions not full impressions. it was close. if it was a full impression i am sure it would be
