2001 D penny doubling

DDD Right? I'm still wondering about that double wave around the first coin. Please forgive my repetitiveness. Part of the problem is I have yet to see a double die myself. There's a far cry of a difference between seeing one in person for yourself vs. pictures online. That absolute certainty mentioned in the documentation only comes from seeing the many variations of all the die imprints. The video about the Canadian gold coin, more specifically, the holographic imprint where the die was stuck many many times to achieve that look was very interesting.

That is split plate doubling, easily confused with DDD. These new ZLincolns have a thin layer of copper over a zinc core. It has always created problems during the striking process.
This is a common occurrence.
Gotta say that those are some really good photos. Especially through a 2*2 flip.

Cents - Post 1982 (to 1990) – the copper plated zinc round

Zinc Lincolns In brief:
Zinc Lincolns are horrible.

Repeat the last sentence a few times until memorized.

 

It is really quite difficult to find a zinc cent that doesn't have a problem.
Even some make their appearance as a condition rarity.
But it is actually very few.
MS67 can be found with plating blisters even linear plating blisters.
But the ones that go for a high premium usually have minute irregularity's are struck well with strong luster.
You will find though that most cents zinc's or not are just mid grade specimens.
The hunt and the education are the most fun.

 

HEY GUYS. I JUST FOUND IN MY CHANGE FROM THE OTHER DAY A 2001D PENNY THAT HAS A STAMPED ZERO UNDERNEATH THE "TY"IN LIBERTY. WOULDN'T THAT BE A MINT ERROR?

 

Welcome to the neighborhood!

It really is best if you start your own thread and post photos with it.

It's NAV or No Added Value Doubling. It's a zinc Cent and this type of doubling is very common.
