Someone please How do i figure out the varietyof this 1989 D DD? It has very obvious DD on date on obverse. It Also shows some DD on United States of America on reverse. It shows some cracking of rim on the reverse above America . I need a better camera to show better pics. But hope these work. On the low end and high end. how much can this be worth? As is. Some pictures make the penny look different in color due to the lighting and angles I am exposing it To.
Looks like has doubling on 1(98)9. I need better camera. Thank you for help. https://images.app.goo.gl/zLRWHgE9XCJid5iD7 here is a link with other coin showing same Error.
That is die deterioration, not hub doubling. A different camera isn't going to change anything. Chris
I see the doubling you mention. It is caused by a worn die, as in Die Deterioration Doubling. http://www.error-ref.com/die-deterioration-doubling/ As for looking up varieties such as DD's. http://www.varietyvista.com/index.htm
DDD or die deterioration Doubling or NAV, no added value doubling. It's very common on these cheap Zinc Cents.
First...Welcome to Coin Talk. Second, CT strives to post accurate information. I, personally, appreciate your research, as shown from your post, and your pictures are good. My additional advice is: I looked at length on the coins from the link you provided and all of them exhibit die deterioration of some degree as well. But just because it says it is a ddo or ddr, doesn’t mean it actually is. It is doubling...but the “worthless” kind. Check out the links @alurid posted and one other: doubleddie.com/Wexler. Use these to compare known examples. Post with any questions, we’ll be glad to help...Spark
I don't even see DDD, but more poor lighting of the close-ups that appear to cast a shadow that looks like die deterioration. I certainly don't want to discourage you, so please keep looking and welcome to CT.
