nvminer New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/18/2018 05:00 am Hello again everyone. I struck out with a quarter yesterday, but was wondering if anyone can shed some light on a penny of mine. I'm not an expert on errors, but this sure as heck looks like something is off on this penny. On the front side, the liberty, date, and mint Mark look to have double letters behind them. On the back side, it is less pronounced, but you see the same thing (especially in the letter "o" in one). Thoughts? Thank-you to everyone in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/18/2018 07:08 am Your coin is showing Die Deterioration. These show on the fields of the coin on the devices in the direction of the closest rim. Just showing that the die is showing it's age. Not a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff

It's caused by a worn die issue, from striking a ton of planchets at the U.S. Mint. http://www.error-ref.com/die-deteri...on-doubling/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Kawliga Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 10/18/2018 2:11 pm I think I might be learning from this. --So is the gritty/rippled look of the field near the rims (especially around the doubled letters/numbers) a pretty sure sign that it's a DDD? I ask because I just got a 2016 D dime with that going on, and a bunch of people on Youtube have it too. But I see that rippling and it reminds me of my Shenandoah quarter that broke my heart.

Yep, that's correct. Although, be careful using YouTube, as the information is not always correct on there. Use these resources instead. http://www.doubleddie.com http://www.coppercoins.com http://www.varietyvista.com http://www.error-ref.com Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Kawliga Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 10/19/2018 03:42 am Thank you. But by "a bunch of people on Youtube" I actually meant a newbie like me who uploaded a video, and several other newbies replying to that, ha. It was clearly amateurville. I'm such a pro now. (NOT).
