Hm - it may be! There appears to be a lot going on up in "IN GOD WE TRUST" - especially that "U" jumps out at me. The two "1"s also look interesting to me in the date. As I recall, there's a flat ton of varieties of '71 S DDO, so if you can get us better pics, maybe we can help more! edit - changed 'you' to "U" Edited by Scropper

Need better photos but if it is, it's sort of a minor one. Of course with a better photo, more details may be visible. |

The photos are nice for the camera your using. If you provide the detail needed, many in this form can help if closeup photos such as found on coppercoins.com are provided. Regular digital cameras usually can't take detailed photos as needed to determine many DDO, DDR, RPM ect...coins. |

The "R" in "TRUST" took a well placed hit, causing the metal to get pushed over and flattened. It's Post Strike Damage.
Errers and Varietys.

But why on some pennies the R is Flared out and some are boxed or block letters?

I think the reason why some of them look like that, is because of damage (for an example, Coin Wrapping Machine Damage). Sometimes the hits are so well placed that they sometimes look like that. When that happens, it causes the metal to be pushed over and flattened. The metal has to go somewhere, so it moves to a different area, as the result of damage. I hoped this helped. Did you find this helpful?  Errers and Varietys.

Different designs. What is usually started on a certain year is usually the same all year. (except years with large and small dates) 1. So if in question about a certain year, check out PCGS CoinFacts to see more examples from the same year. 2. Dies can be polished and that alters the shape of the devices and design areas. 3. Partial Grease Fill can alter devices. |

I don't see any doubling on any of these coins.
I think it's just post strike damage, also called post Mint damage. This didn't happen at the Mint so it's not an error.
Post strike damage, post mint damage, and circulation damage are different ways to describe the same thing.

It's only considered an error, if it happened at the U.S. Mint. It's worth face value only, because it's damage. Errers and Varietys.
