Question about 2 pennies?

I have 2 pennies and I'm wondering if anyone knows what the might be worth? The first is a 1979 D missing the initials on the reverse. The second is a 1999 P it's a DDR there are 3 or 4 possible ones it could be I'm having a hard hard time. The doubling is on Lincoln's left (on the right of the coin to us) on the 7th Piller. I would greatly appreciate everyone's opinions about what they might be worth. Thank you everyone.

The 79-D is cool but it really doesn't have much, if any premium. Many minor errors add no additional value, but some people enjoy saving them (I do). In reality, it's unusual to find an error that would retail for more than $1, so don't use CRHing as part of your retirement plan

The 99 looks like Die Deterioration doubling

 

Actually the 99 I've checked Wexler's and Varietyvista and there are like 3 on each site that the doubling is a match I'm just having a hard time with the markers they list for each because the USB microscope I have is a really cheap one that tends to turn any shade of copper a dark green so it makes them hard to see. I already posted it under errors and another member agreed about it being a DDR he found I think 4 possible matches. I posted here under what it's worth to see what everyone thought. As for the 79 personally I was guessing $1 or $2 tops which would be fine by me for a 1¢ investment.

It's a good thing I gave up on hopefully making a little bit extra money and switch to thinking of this as a hobby cause looks like no responses to even the DDR being worth more than 1¢.
"Unfortunately learned something new today"

 

Pennies are big English coins yours are American one cent coins.

 

Huh??? Are you saying that I would have an easier time spotting the markers on an English penny because they're bigger (assuming they are IDK) or that a DDR on an American penny is worth 1¢ because they are not worth what an English penny is? Either way is cool I'm use to being laughed at if I didn't laugh at my luck I couldn't get through the day.

 

To quote the youngsters "my bad" guess both of my guesses about what you were trying to explain/say we're off the mark. But I'm pretty sure that from your choice of emoji that my not understanding the knowledge you were trying to pass along has you a wee bit frustrated sorry about that. Have a good evening or morning as the case maybe everyone.
"Still trying to learn something new every day"

 

No, It was said because the American coin that is $0.01 is properly referred to as a cent (centum...1/100) instead of the British coin a penny. Yeah, we commonly call American cents pennies

I bet you are.

 

Thank you for explaining it to me I really didn't get what he meant. Probably because it came not out of left field but from under the bench in the dugout. I thought he was commenting on the post. Thanks to you I know and knowing is half the battle (anyone know the rest of that quote?).

At one time I made a big deal about it.. But now personally I think it doesn't matter..
Here is an old and long thread I created back in 2015
https://www.cointalk.com/threads/cent-vs-penny-what-is-the-correct-term.259971/

 

Look at the reverse of the coin. It reads ONE CENT. Cent is the correct term for a US coin worth 1/100th of a dollar.

The 1999 is DDD so it's worth one cent. The 1979-D is missing the designers initials. That's a grease filled Die as the roof is intact. You might get a buck or two for it.

 

And Here in the US of A.. we roll them up in these coin wrappers labled PENNIES

 

Ok I've seen the light but I have a question. The 1999 one cent what's a DDD and what makes it that and not one of the ones it looks like at Wexler's?
"Trying to learn something new every"

 

Those who get bent about cent vs penny argument should call the Buffalo nickel the Bison nickel. Cent, penny, I don't care really since I know what they are talking about.

 

The designer was obviously not a coin collector.

 

The 99 is actually a doubled die. What you're seeing is known as an extra column.

 

Even the mint uses the word "penny" in place of cent, but that's neither here nor there. The missing initials are fairly common as the die gets polished and wears that area away, so no premium IMO. The 1999 appears to be a normal circulated coin minted with worn die, DDD, again no premium IMO.

 

DDD is from a worn die. It's a common form of worthless doubling.

 

Which the 99 isn't ddd.
