Ok I got another one ! There is a letter behind the D in GOD !

It's a worn die or machine doubling. Really common on Lincoln cents.

 

Could also be a hit which caused the soft copper to move giving it the appearance it now has. The upper right of the D on the bottom is more squared and the top D is damaged on the left. As Idhair said, it's common.

 

Hmmm ! .( The upper right of the D on the bottom is more squared and the top D is damaged on the left. ) Im lost here !

 

The letter behind the D in GOD is another D. What else could it be?

 

I'm lost as well.

 

Second photo. Look closely. I can't explain it any better than I did. ☹️

 

Worn die or strike doubling.

 

I've read alot on strike doubling and that's not it !

 

Collecting nut .... Is that a statement or a question ? This is a question ???

 

You said in the original post there is a letter behind the D in GOD. I gave you my opinion and stated why. You said you were lost so I tried again. As I see it the letter on top of the D is another D. Since there is damage to the D it looks to me as if the D were moved from its original position thus creating a D on top of a D. If you see another letter which letter do you see? I only see a D, one on top of the other and both are damaged as described earlier. Copper is soft.

 

Ok I get that now but who is to say the top D is damaged and not the underlying ? Thanks for clarifying !

 

It is Worn Die doubling you are looking at.
There is no D over D or any Hub Doubling.

 

How about a image of the date, with the mint-mark too ..
Could be a RPM ?

Although we know numbers and letters can be displaced by PMD to appear as error anomalies but the OP’s coin is just as other members have stated: caused by Machine Doubling IMO.

That's one reason I do not focus on rpms so much , doubled dies and major errors yes ...

 

I bought my first RPM about a week ago .
It was a 1947-S Rosy ..
