If you would post full image of obverse and reverse would be awesome. Looks like a normal cent to me. Die Deterioration Doubling and Mechanical doubling ,worthless doubling!1960 D large date.
Minor die deterioration doubling. Just worthless doubling. Nothing really major. Common issue on many cents.
I wasn't quite sure honestly. The first thing I noticed was the middle arm of the E in "WE". It looked to have another behind it. Then the L in "LIBERTY" looked to have a separation line running down it. So I then looked at the date. The mint mark looked crooked so to say but also was exactly where it was supposed to be. The 0 doesn't look right with it being larger on one side than the other. That along with the faint separation line running through the 9 and what looks to be two different ends on the 9 as well as the 6 made me think small/large but then again I don't know that's why i asked here. This site will only let me post 10 photos so here is a link to a shared album if you'd like to look at more photos. And thank you to all who have replied. https://photos.app.goo.gl/9yN8WWwcpHdvXZsj7
I'll just address this part - during the era when mint marks were punched into each die, small rotations of the MM were common and there was no "exactly where it was supposed to be", there was only close enough for government work. The MM wasn't put on the master dies until 1990 and 1991. https://doubleddie.com/58201.html Otherwise I see MD and DDD, as stated.
Well explained. We all can focus on the coins’ details now instead of guessing. That said, the previous answers of MD and die deterioration were spot on. Also, a single full size image of the obverse, with correct focus and lighting, would have been sufficient to address all the details you queried. I advise the minimum of a full obverse, a full reverse and a couple close-ups to properly display posted coins so members can analyze better and offer better opinions to you. Sometimes a close-up of the edge is needed to explain questions. Providing good photos and asking well-informed questions helps us help you. Coin Talk works best when proper images are present. I hope this helps you be a better poster and collector.
