I found a 1984 double die penny while going through a change jar at church. I'm only 16 so it's a little tricky getting my hands on rare coins. I basically look at every coin I can possibly get my hands on. I was in complete shock when I found this coin--I don't have a very big collection but for now this is my prized possession. I am only a beginner when it comes to grading so I need a little help. I would say it's either fine or very fine. And when it comes to value I am practically clueless. So I'd appreciate the expertise of someone a lot more experienced than I am. Here is the penny Coins I've found while searching: 3 Roosevelt dimes 1 Mercury dime 1 silver nickel 2 Buffalo nickels 3 silver quarters 1 40% silver Kennedy half dollar 1984 doubled ear penny   |

 Sorry, I'm not much good at grading. I think I see what your getting at. I'll include a link to a previous post showing some known varieties at the bottom. Wait for the more knowledgeable for confirmation. Thanks, Doug. edit: PS: Might help if I include the link. https://goccf.com/t/250211&SearchTerms=double,earEdited by Halo1st

 with tipping your church. Grade-wise, I am thinking AU or so, possibly details due to the large spot on the reverse. |

Really Au? Wow that was unexpected lol. So then what would be the value of this coin?
And I agree the church deserves a very large tip

And is it worth it to send to a grading company to get slabbed?

Congrats what an awesome find! Going by coppercoins and not being sure if it would get a details or high AU grade my rough guess would be somewhere between $75-$200 it's a big gap but that's a rough guess like I said...also check ebay 'sold items' and see what they have recently sold for in similar grades |

I'm going to have to save up my money lol-I don't own a single slabbed coin-most of my coins I've found--with a few exceptions--I certainly will though

The spots would be the thing that would affect the grade of your coin.
