1980 d grease error

Just found this 1980d grease error--is there anything more to it and would anyone say it's a keeper?

The 0 in 1980 took a hit.. nothing else
Not an error

 

What do you mean by took a hit?

 

Counting/rolling machine...

 

Wow, so these machines excert enough pressure to reshape part of the 0 into a straight line? Remarkable. Thanks for that but of knowledge!

 

Sure it's a keeper. Not to mention, if the doubling of the letters of IN GOD WE TRUST and LIBERTY under a 25X powered microscope are evident, you may have a DDO 1980 D Lincoln Cent. I heard a guy on Ebay had 5 for sale. I have 1 or 2 (not for sale), but not with the defunct "0". If you wonder what a DDO Lincoln Cent before 2003 goes for, use the RED BOOK "R.S. Yeoman" 70thEdition page 431 explains what the value of multiple struck coins goes for, and planchet errors. The book clearly says via Lincoln Cents 95% copper and multiple strikes column, matches a price of $65.

 

Really? You said "if".. where do you see Doubling?
The area in question was the date. You just went off the subject with something that does not even exist on this Cent. The picture shows a blurry IN GOD WE TRUST.

 

Yes, under a 25X powered pen microscope it's doubled. I have grease impregnated coins too. Use it to your advantage. Please try and understand. If since it's blurry, it's doubled as in DDO.

 

No!
You clearly don't know what you are talking about! Did you just start collecting coins?
Coins are not impregnated with grease. The Die that is used to strike the blank planchet gets grease or debris into the incused letters or numbers or image and does not allow to image to properly form.
Also..
Unless you have the Cent in question in your hand you cannot determine if it's actually a DDO! You cannot put an 25x pen microscope on an image on a computer screen and determine that it's a DDO

Hoarded for the last 40 years. Collected small cents the whole time, and I know more than the average starter. Have you tried looking at it up close with loupes, or microscopes, or any enlargment devices, scans?

 

No. Goodbye.

 

Touche' You don't know unless you've tried, and gained a better understanding of your coin/s. Goodbye.

 

Buddy. I have been doing this for over 30 years. I have clear understanding of my coins. I don't need for an amateur to tell me what to do and how to do it. My computer allows me to enlarge any picture. Not stick a pen microscope on an image on a screen of a coin that is not mine.

 

You'd be going about it all wrong. Not sticking no microscope to no screen, as you put it. No need to explain. You are clearly underming yourself by not doing it properly. Thought that saying good bye meant end of discussion?

 

You are correct. Forget it.

 

I'm sorry my question is causing such disagreement here! If it would help, I'll take some close-ups of the areas in question. From when I first found and looked at the coin with a 10x loupe the other day, I mainly concentrated on the date as I only noticed the strike through in the 0 with my naked eye.

 

Here are some close-ups of liberty and in god we trust of the coin in question. I, personally, don't see any doubling, but I'm the least qualified person here to make any such call. Let me know your thoughts? As always, thank you everyone for your valued knowledge!!!

 

@ACoinJob, you buying, I'm selling. Translated, anybody suggesting a coin like this is a $65 coin is but a crackpot. They're selling on eBay, what isn't selling on eBay? You call this machine hit a "defunct 0" and you don't even know it's PMD? Sheesh, I rest my case.

Show me the "do-re-me," a.k.a., the money. Let me see just one like this that's gone for more that $.01 exclusive of shipping and handling and I'm a horse's ass.

 

@eddiespin, I'll be hoarding this coin for the next 30+ years, maybe by then it'll be worth $65, should I hit you up then to see if you'd be willing to buy it? Lols!!! Just trying to lessen the tension here. Thanks everyone!

 

We got a deal, you're on. Be talking to you in 30+ years, lols...
