Steel 1943-D/D 1C? Whatcha think?

Take a look at the mintmark on this Steel 1943 D and let me know if this is a D/D?

Kinda looks like something to do with the zinc split plating . Maybe a close up of the D would tell better.

 

Here's a pic of split plating doubling.

 

Only worn die "doubled", very common on these steel coins. No special value.

 

Could be cause looks like something is going on with the "4" also!

 

What Insider said.

 

That was what I was catching too on the 4. I'm not an expert though, so thought I'd ask you all.

 

Here's a pic of a Jefferson nickle I found minted with a worn die - called Die Deterioration Doubling (DDD) - fun to find but not really worth any more than face value.

 

Can't remember the last time I found a triple D!? Maybe college?

 

Funny but just remember - "DDD's will eventually be down to their knees!"

 

Oy vey! Think I've seen those before too!

 

Here is my favorite visual aid....

 

Check the edge to see if you can still see the steel core, if not, it was reprocessed ( plated ) after leaving the mint ( many, many were), and if not well cleaned, debris and corrosion was covered over and led many to suspect plating errors at the mint, when they were PMD.

 

I remember putting mercury on them and regular wheat cents.
