I found a 1993-D Penny. I think it definetly looks like a dime planchet, but could just be smaller cut penny i guess. Looks like a bunch of stuff happened... Looks like multi-strike, or DDO. Die break. Then die chips and the break/cud in the vague shape of the last 2-4 numbers of date repeat themselves 2-3 times northward into/across field, fading with each. In the field above LIBERTY there are 3 lined up letters( GOD? or three from another word, sorry I'm a newbie with a newbie magnifier 2X with tiny 4X circle ) Also, below LIBERTY some of the I and all of B,E,R , and some T letters drop in a south, SE line to edge. More chips/cud touching S in trust. And an apparent crumb on his lip. Nothinreal obvious at first...Hey, new to the site, would appreciate any advice/opinion on realness, rarity, value.. My terminology prob isn't 100%, and after I look closer maybe a small variant from that, but hope it'll do until i get a picture... Nice Looking coin. THANK YOU
I'm over here on the Western Slope... When my Camera gets back I'll just post a pic from now on but it wouldn't stay ON the day I was trying to take this one, and didn't know how to get a good one. So I guess I was WAY OFF base with my ignorant evaluation... I was told it was the heat at minting and the top layer rotated? Leaving a lightly visible date(s) in that field, along with the barely visible "three letters" in opposite field, and some other oddities below Liberty. I was also told the coin was buffed to appear lighter and thinner, making it dime colored, and the other irregularites were bubbles, not a die break or cud. I know these things weren't easily spotted and I'm new to this, but I would've bet my first born it was SOMETHING!... So next time I post it will be...SOMETHING. The moral of this story: Don't ever listen to me.
