1974 D penny date thicker compared to others of same date!

When comparing these two coins of the same date, I noticed one coin date is so much thicker than the other. I tried to find info on it but didn't find anything. Why are they so different ?

It looks like the "97" is doubled.

could be fisrt one worn more than second...

 

Could be because there's a Large Date and a Small date ..

Aren't there type 1&2. Long legged 7

 

Cool find, tricky. Well I like to view and dig into to coins that are shared on here. Seriously neat find.

Checked into this one, couldn't pin point if this is known. But had fun learning a new coin.

That is DDD. The line splitting the nine is evidently from the die polishing in the field.

 

@Pickin and Grinin @Pocket-change. Thanks for the info. Is this a valuable coin ? Or just a neat find?
Die-deterioration doubling is a new area to me.

Thanks for looking

@cheech7912 - thanks for the information.. I'll look into it.

 

DDD usually adds no value. Put it in a 2x2 and keep it for learning purposes.

 

It a fun process for learning for sure! The more you know the better

I have learned a ton in the last couple months here. And I am sure you will as well. Good hunting Penny. I'll be sure to check your threads.

Happy hunting.
