don't see any Cuds, just a long linear plating bubble on this zinc cent.

@makecents - I respectfully disagree. It's DDO.

Pretty normal looking coin to me, not seeing any die doubling.

Bigwho808... Please let us know what the grading outcome is. Is the DDO you observe listed/noted by any of the sites like variety vista, copper coins, wexlers, others? Thanks.

This one a DDO? No. I see no doubling, sorry. Save your money. Pass on getting it graded.

Don't see anything other than a regular 84.

I agree with the others that it is not a doubled die at all and no Cud. Please keep us updated. Thanks. John1

 Save your money Not worth grading. Normal with linear plating issues and bubbles.

@Bigwho.... before you send your coin off for grading, I highly recommend you take the coin into your local coin shop/dealer & get their opinion. I have to agree w/ everyones assessment, not seeing any doubling.

Just a normal die example. What spread are you seeing on the devices? The areas you are looking at are just contact marks on the tops of the devices. In order to be a doubled die, there needs to be spread seen on the devices. http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20...201984-D.htmLook at the dates on these DDO listings. Yours look nothing like that. Your coin is normal.

I appreciate everyone's input and looking out. I am thinking of sending it to ANACS - it won't be too expensive if it's a bust - no biggie. I am going with my gut on this one. We'll see how it goes.

If you take your coin into your local dealer & they confirm its not a doubled die.... the money you'd save by not getting it graded, you could buy a real error coin from them, it'd be a win/win for both. But good luck, let us know the ANACS outcome.

Normal cent, however 1984 P and D issues have a couple each of some pretty strong reverse doubled dies along with gobs of minor doubled dies. When you find one of the 1984 P or D DDR's that are the more major ones you will know by the R of America being split tailed...a clear split (serrifs and all) the C of America (strong doubling) pretty noticeable extra thickness throughout almost all reverse lettering (and especially e pluribus) and ON of ONE will show a clear snap back thick fuzzy doubling (class 6?). In my experience the 1984 DDR's are well maybe not plentiful but its fairly common for me to find one or 2 (the minor ones) in every couple bank boxes of cents. The good strong DDR's thats another story...have found 2 of the strong 1984 DDR's and 4 of the strong 84 D DDR's in roughly 240,000 cents. Overlooked variety as most 1984's get their obverse scrutinized closely by even new roll hunters - it pays to check all 1984 cent reverses their not mined as extensively. Keep hunting you will find them.
