1987d ddd

the date has slight doubling with a little ghost all to the right and the liberty has ghost to the left. what's up with that?
Looks like a small crack in plating above Lincolns head.

I would love to hear from some of the more veteran collectors on this one. Is what you have there a true dd or is it double struck or even machine doubling. I have never really had the differances explained to me. Either way looks like a very nice coin, one I would call a keeper. I think you are right about the flaw above Lincoln's head it does look like a plate issue. Really nice find!

actually plate doubling.

from the copper plate being shifted during the strike.

 

For non-collectible types of doubling, check here:

yep, plate split doubling as ikandiggit's site shows.

 

That is a great link thank you very much for sharing.
