1984 d ddo

No doublED die and,

This is not a doublED die but it is a very strong strike.
We see these often and the depression in the coin, (what you'all are talking about) is either caused by too much pressure during strike or the planchet was not quite thick enough and shallow when it came out of the upsetting (rim making) mill. Typically this has been noticed on 1984 and 85 Lincoln's. Incedentally the depression accentuates the visual and the mechanical doubling as the date is partially "on the bulge" and thus rounded to a degree. I see this often, very often plus remember they were just in the third year of using the new copper plated planchets and were still working out problems with that - by the way all cent planchets are produced in Greenville TN. about an hour from me.

I may be wrong (I remember being wrong once before, but I may be wrong about that) but I think whats next to the numbers is called 'plate split doubling'.

 

The doubling in 9 and 8 is going to the right, and the doubling in 4 is going to the left. It's normal? in machine doubling.

 

This incuse form of doubling is common on Lincoln cents. It's a form of die deterioration doubling. The other imperfections are also manifestions of die deterioration.

 

May be this is "Pareidolia"; but following the horizontal line of the mouth on the oberse. It's no there, a mouth, and another mouth, and another mouth?

 

No. You're just imagining things.

 

Thanks again Mike anl all for teaching me something new.

I just want to clarify it's called plating split doubling:whistle:

There are no splits in the plating here. This is die deterioration doubling, not split plating doubling. For the latter I've used the term "split-line doubling", but I don't really care if another, similar term is used.

 

I no it;s not plating split doubling I just was trying to correct the terminology from the individual that said plate split doubling

Thank you

There are several DDO die varieties on 1984 cents. This coin is a 1984 D and that is different altogether. There is at least one DDO on an '84D cent that has doubling on the date and the lower portion of the bust with no doubling on the ear.

This coin is not a DDO, though.

Thanks,
Bill

 

Good to know. Thanks Bill.
