chgk1328 Valued Member 142 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 08:38 am On the cent observe side, doubled on the year number "4" of 1994, mint mark "D" and Lincoln's face east side,but also Lincoln's eye look funny. On the penny reverse side, doubled on some letters of "America" and "One Cent". Edited by chgk1328 04/16/2018 01:19 am Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 09:21 am 1. It's a CENT, not a penny. 2. The correct word is "doubled". Now the good part. 3. I would sent it (or very good images) in to Coin World and get their analysis. You've got something I find very interesting but I don't think it's a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff

Mrzllewellyn Pillar of the Community United States 1901 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 09:39 am I don't see anything but some die wear Die Deterioration. MD and some plate buckling which is like slit plate doubling but the plating didn't split. So the plating buckles because they turned the pressure up on the strike. Is how wexler explained plate buckling to me. Edited by Mrzllewellyn 04/15/2018 09:41 am Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 09:55 am to CCF. It is a copper plating issue and worn die. Not rare at all and worth one cent. I can see why you would ask the question though. John1 Edited by John1 04/15/2018 10:12 am Report this Post to the Staff

luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 1:13 pm Chgk welcome. I am impressed so many people from overseas search for and collect Lincoln Cents. If you are interested in obtaining large amounts of cents for searching try "The Portland Mint" in Portland OR. They sell bulk cents and nickels. They will help you with the legality issues, custom forms information, laws etc. You will legally be able to purchase a certain amount of unsearched cents and really have a chance at a doubled die cent or nickel. Don't give up, these variety coins are rare but plenty are still out there to be found. Report this Post to the Staff
chgk1328 Valued Member 142 Posts	Posted 04/16/2018 01:07 am Dear luvmyCAM, Thank you for your honest advice! I am a lived-in Hong Kong Canadian.When I was lived in Canada,my greatest interest and hobby was that every time I will check out the coins when I got a change in a supermarket or a convenience store,so all my old and unknown variety of US and Canada coin collection was collected by daily pocket change and by came to visit my son and daughter in US. Actually in Asia,especially Hong Kong, the most hot numismatic collecting topic is not the US Money,it's the "Renmin Bi" of China Money, I guess there is only an extremely few US Money collector in Asia, so the "Renmin Bi" of China become the most hot numismatic collection trading in Hong Kong and even Asia market Edited by chgk1328 04/16/2018 01:11 am Report this Post to the Staff

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/05/2019 12:05 pm The underlying images do look flat so I would agree with Machine Doubling (MD) KK Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/05/2019 2:40 pm As already mentioned, this is DDD (Die-Deterioration-Doubling). While it looks interesting, there is no premium. But the coin looks nice, so you might want to save it for an educational piece for a new collector to see to show the way the coin is showing that the die is showing die wear.
