This is a 1989 penny and I am wondering if it has a doubled die on one cent especially the N in the word ONE and the C on the word CENT. Is it worth anything?
Yup. MD. See how it looks shelf like and reduces the size of the devices. Those are key indicators to MD, SD, ED, whichever phrase you prefer
No. Take a look at that diagonal part of the N in ONE you're suggesting is possible die-doubling. Do you see how the "bottom" diagonal is simply a part of the "top" diagonal that's been smashed down? If so, your eyesight is good, as that's exactly what it is. To confirm that, find a 1989 cent that has that diagonal part of the N in ONE fully-intact, and compare it to this one. This one would have looked like that one had the die not took a hop when this coin was struck, causing that bottom diagonal to smash down as it did. In a doubled die, your "top" devices will look exactly as those in the fully-intact examples. Does that a lick of make sense?
Note the 'N' on ONE: When you look at the cross bar, you can see where the strike happened and the machine damaged that device after the strike. Note how the cross bar is altered making it not straight any more. So it is MD.
It cut into the "top," or the "superior" impression, foreshortening that impression's width. As that impression in a doubled die is the last impression to be imparted to the die, it's always fully-intact. As such, if it's compromised, that came after the die. That's another way to express it.
Thank you so much, and thanks to everyone else. I am new to this so i will be posting more pictures of coins that I am wondering about, I appreciate your responses.
