1983 Double D error

I just bought some coins a couple of hours ago, and while looking through this I found a 1983 double D. I only found 2 articles on the internet about it. Can someone give me some information about it?

"Double D" errors? Are you absolutely CERTAIN you want to head down this path?

 

Since he is a new member, of course he does. Someone will come along and point out that since this is a plated cent, it is just zinc rot/plating blister.

 

@ajthecatdog
Not a Repunched Mint Mark.. Just a plating issue..


LOL Double D's

As stated plating issues.

See, 'Tuck? Paddyman got it.

 

The plating split along the edge of the mm when the coin was struck. Not unusual to see this on early zinc cents. It took the mint a little time to figure out how to strike them

 

Yeah, I was going to post a picture of Double D's, but I probably would get banned for life.
