Good day! I’m new to coin hunting and collecting. Still learning. I found a 2019 penny that looks different that my other 2019 pennies. I thought it may be something??? Any help is great appreciated.
I know what it is not.. A Doubled die. Looks like one if the worthless doubling issues.. Either Die Deterioration doubling and/or Mechanical doubling. Common issues in many coins.
Waaaay too magnified, waaaay to blurry. Two pictures, one of the entire front, one of the entire back, as clear and in focus as possible, then two more pictures of the most extreme areas on the obverse then reverse that you want an opinion on, (let's say Liberty on the obverse and Trust on the reverse) as close as you can get, BUT clear and in focus still, ideally a screen shot or image capture with better resolution than these that appear to be pictures of a monitor with pixelation. if your digital microscope doesn't do pictures, and can't do an image capture, I'd suggest going old school with a cheap macro lens or magnifier and taking the pictures directly. close as you can and still in focus. really hard to tell anything with these pictures, sorry.
You need to post one photo of both sides of the coin. Looks like NAV Doubling but I can't tell from those close ups. NAV is No Added Value
Welcome to CT @Cheryl9885. Because you posted your photos as thumbnails (I know, it is the default setting. I wish it was done away with altogether.) It's difficult to "manipulate" the image for a good view. Also, remember that late 1982 to present, the US cents are zinc with a thin layer of copper, so lots of anomalies can occur. Here is my spiel on posting photos for new (and many old) members. You should always post in focus FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and is easily enlarged by clicking on it. Always show both the entire obverse and reverse, even if your question is just about one side. Members can often give more valuable information having both sides to evaluate. Crop out superfluous background so just the coin shows, and post photos with correct orientation so members don't have to turn their computer in some awkward fashion to view it properly. Add close ups of areas you have questions about and make your questions as definitive as possible so we know what you are asking for. And try to have the best lighting possible to show the most favorable photo of the coin. Hope this helps in the future. Good luck.
