ms3 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 11/03/2022 10:42 pm Hi All, I found this penny in my son's penny jar. It looked to be in pretty good shape for a 1980 penny so I took a closer look at it (I'm a total beginner). The date seemed rather prominent, perhaps more so than I've seen on any other penny, including the newer ones. I looked under a magnifying glass and saw what looks like doubling, particularly in the date area. I attached some photos. I seriously doubt this is a doubled die and think it's either a Mechanical Doubling, or perhaps not even that. Any help is greatly appreciated. Best regards! Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10140 Posts	Posted 11/04/2022 7:45 pm Looks like glare doubling to me. Try photographing with defused light, such as daylight. to the CCF! ça va bien aller Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 4179 Posts	Posted 11/04/2022 9:11 pm OK. Not the best photos but show me no DDO. I am in the favor of a Mechanical Doubling. In 1980 many coins has this characteristic. Premium on? I do not think so because so many coins was same. Congrats to spot. Report this Post to the Staff
ms3 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 11/05/2022 6:43 pm Thank you all very much for your input and welcoming me to this outstanding forum. Being a beginner, I still have much to learn including on how to photograph the coins. Here are a couple of photos in natural light- hope these are better. It appears to me that there is some doubling occurring particularly on "8" and "0" of the date. Best regards! Report this Post to the Staff
