What a waste of money!

 

Show me an example just like the one I got y’all put all these links but nothing looks like what I found

 

If the error was in the die that struck the coin, as in a doubled D, there would be more of them. Every coin struck from that die would have a doubled D. Because it is random damage to a single coin, there would not be another exactly like it.

 

Not exact, but here is another one. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1994-d-zincoln.314639/#post-3051814

 

When saying the coin is "doubled die" does that imply the coin was struck twice.?
How does machine doubled differ from the doubled die & thanks for any clarification.
If there is a source I can read that would be helpful too.

 

Still looks nothing like mine I’ll just take it to coin shop tomorrow I will let y’all know what I found

 

It was a plating blister that popped in the middle. Making it look like a D..

 

In brief and simplified: Something that is "doubled (on the) die" is when an image is accidentally duplicated TWICE on the Die itself. therefore, when a planchet is struck, it shows the doubled image on the die. ==> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubled_die

MD/DDD is when the die itself starts wearing out and the crisp edges wear down ==> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die-deterioration_doubling

But recently the US MInt uses a single squeeze method which can created DDs itself.

Also, many of the zinc lincolns (which are a super thin copper plate of a thick zinc core) are susceptible to blistering, tearing, etc. In the OPs coin you can see blistering underneath the bust. And there was a blister below the D that probably popped and thus you get something that looks like that. I'm sure if you peruse ebay or google you'll find many examples of this in various locations.

Here's split plating ==> http://coinauctionshelp.com/copperplatingissues.html#.W7EftvZFx9A

blistering .. just look through these threads ==> https://www.cointalk.com/search/3799983/?q=zinc+blister&o=date

 

I think you have the rarest of all coins! The kind that only you can see. It's priceless.Make a special place holder in your Lincoln cent album.

Okay now. These guys tought me everything I need to know about errors and doubled dies. I wouldn't know what I know now if it wasn't for them. They are very helpful. You just have you let them help you and be open about stuff. Really I know from when I first started. Not even a year now. I know alot now. By reading and everything. But you have to do your part to to even understand it. You'll learn if you let them.

 

Thanks

 

It is no different than what you are trying to feed us right now. Why did you come here if you didn't want help? You have been given the correct answer by every one who posted. In fact you posted four different threads trying to get away from the truth. If you don't want help then go back to the uneducated you tube videos. You will fit right in.

 

Chris take it to the shop and ask about the error. If he claims it is, ask him how much he will give you for it. If he declines, you have the real answer. If he gives $50, thank him and enjoy.

We have no reason to make false statement or even to reply, we only reply trying to help you.

 

I only have 2 weeks doing this still learning to me it looks like a double D but I guess I have to see more

 

It will look like it. I had the same trouble too.

 

Is this a small date over large date
It’s a 1960 d penny I can’t tell the difference

 

Hey @Chris .c. calm down. Two simple reasons this can't be a doubled die. First, if only the mint mark is doubled, it is called an RPM (re-punched mint mark) and this is impossible since starting in 1990 the mints stopped adding mint marks by hand and put them on the dies when they were made. If you do take it to a shop, let us know how it comes out.
