Is this 1996 considered a double die?

Hello everyone, just curious if this 1996 penny is considered a double die? Sure hope so if it is, this would be my first one.

Thank you

I would say no because I don't see it in other areas like the date and think it would be difficult for it to be a double if not in more then one area of the coin. But I am not an expert by any means on the double dies. I have read up on it a few times but it takes practice to really get them down. Best of luck

 

Looks like DDD to me.. That's Die Deterioration Doubling

Not a Doubled Die

 

Doubled Die.. Not Double die

Not necessarily true. Your statement that is.

 

Here is a link of good information to explain the difference and the changes made to the mint process after 1985. I found this information very useful and great information.

How does the die get doubled in the first place?

Interesting site @paddyman98 - It refers to the cent as "penny" throughout the site. Does that mean penny is now an accepted and proper numismatic term?

 

exactly but not worth anything extra.
