I have always loved coins but only just recently started to actively pursue this passion. Just today I found this 1988 D penny with a doubled D by the date. Anyone know what a coin like this might be worth? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/30/2018 11:32 pm & to CCF! You will see that sort of damage quite a bit around the date and mintmark. It is caused when the copper plating is split during the strike and that happens in the direction of the rim. The exposed zinc will start to corrode and eventually, the whole coin will be consumed. Nasty stuff! Other damage can also pierce the plating to expose the zinc and you get the same result. Looking forward to your posts!
