1989D cent???

there is no listing for a 1989D DD but I found this coin the other night and it looks like there are two 8's in the date one right over the other.

It looks like the copper clad plating is what caused this one.

but I am no expert.
maybe someone can explain it better.

 

Bump.

 

why? please explain.

 

die detoriation if I am not mistaken...not an error

 

just took some more pics it's also present in the lib on liberty.

 

I just noticed while this while posting the pics.

there is a thicker area only where the effect is.

 

Sorry Guy's I'm just trying to learn.

 

There is heavy die deterioration going on with this coin, and this causes die-deterioration doubling. The most famous example is the 1955 "poor man's double die." You can read about these forms of "doubling" here:

Thank you for the info I knew it wasn't a double die. but it didn't look like most of the other machine doubling I had seen.

 

You're welcome. I personally put aside dramatic examples such as this.
