DDO Question For 1974 Penny

Looks MD to me.

Obviously good lighting can make it easier to spot certain errors or varieties but when you actually find a true DD you'll know. There are some minor ones that are harder to spot because it may be just a little raised line under an L or maybe some minor doubling on the bottom of the memorial or something. But if it's a DD that affects multiple devices like the date or IGWT you will know immediatly. When devices are doubled they become bigger and in some cases you can see it with your naked eye. As far as you not finding any doubled dies yet don't get discouraged and dont blame the light. They are not easy to find. There are a few other types of worthless doubling that are fairly common but a true DD is pretty rare for the most part. I didn't find my first one till 5 months after I started and it was one of the newer shield pennies. You have to remember people have been searching for these types of errors for decades so the older the coins are the more likely theyve been picked through already. That doesn't mean they aren't still out there, it just means they aren't as common as new collectors think they are. If they were, they wouldn't be some of the most expensive errors out there. Just keep that in mind. Good luck and happy hunting.

Curious if its Type I or Type II? Thanks, Doug.
