1993 DDO New Variety Penny

Then you must not be familiar with md the die has to bounce when there is a bounce it is to one side or the other which will usually get some letters not to mention md is flat and shelf like not rounded and md has a flat coloring not polished I have been doing double dies for over 20 years but thank you for commenting.

I know pictures isn't like having the coin in hand,i saw a picture of a 1988 double ear penny in strike it rich with pocket change,the doubling looked like a Cud but it was listed as a double die.i am not here trying to sell my coin but to show it and see if anyone else has found one.i found this specimen in 2013,it was easy to see with out an eye piece.

Hi Kevin. Your coin is MD. It's pretty common for the date and also 1984. The MD on that specimen is more severe than most though. Keep looking though.

It does look cool... I have found a few similar and the result was damage die/md, etc

this link is great info on doubled ears

The reasn behind this is because the overall size of ear and head is still in normal range it is most likely md as the doubled part is inside the size of range could be md or a die dent or damage

Yes, he's overly confident at the moment. But all new variety hunters have a learning curve and MD can be troubling especially when it affects the central most devices on the coin. I was taken by the 1984 the first time. But after a box and seeing it regularly I figured it out by the math alone. As you know, and you do several times as many boxes as I do (or does John to me) you see these coins all the time. It becomes routine. It will for Kevin (and others) with experience. But your experience is valuable to the community so don't let these things dissuade you from contributing.

Theory and experience are needed to achieve profound results. Offering both to the community advances everyone. Happy hunting folks!

Lol - nah. I saw that but I let it go. What's most important is that the information expressed here by the senior members is accurate and offered in the spirit of education. I've collected for decades but still new to varieties. Perhaps that's the OP's situation too.

While on a different part of the 'curve' I'm still learning too.

answers like it is md, not a doubled die would be enough for me and some regular posters or readers familiar with the posters there level of expertise. But I could see why OP would still need more info as to why its md.

learn something new every day my 9-year-old kid told me Strawberries, while found in the fruit aisle, aren't actually a fruit.

I did not believe him as my years of experiences says they are a fruit.

They are a fleshy receptacle for the seeds, which are the actual fruit of the strawberry.

a strawberry is not even a berry did the research and that is true
