This is a 1992 D penny. I see lines on the lettering, is that doubling or something else entirely? Thanks in advance!!
Die deterioration. The only reasons you would want to save a ‘92-D Zincoln are: 1. It was pristine, as if fresh from the mint with no flaws like die deterioration, plating defects, stains or an incomplete strike. Your coin is not. 2. If it were a Close AM. Your coin is not. 3. If it were a variety listed at VV, Wexler, any TPG or in the CPG. …imo…Spark
It PMD. Deterioration. It is interesting how the die does. Could be machine as well. I look at the 1992s and looking at America, if you ever see the M touching the A, that’s close AM. Rare. I see the date and say, oh let it be close lol! Have fun!
These are struck like machine-gun fire, and very, very violently. They lose any "cookie cutter," if you like, precision for it. The collars securing the planchets loosen and can't hold them, as do the dies, themselves, sometimes. The best way to get the idea is just look it up on YouTube. Once you see it for yourself, how these cents are minted, it will answer a lot. Sorry for the long reply but it seems you could stand knowing this. A lot more here than you might think don't know it, to be perfectly frank about it.
