SomeGoodCents Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 7:17 pm The entire coin looks odd to me, bubble look on observe not well depicted with my old 12.2 mp Fuji. Reverse lettering in CENT seems to be doubling also. Report this Post to the Staff
SomeGoodCents Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 7:23 pm Bow tie triangle on coat lapel makes me think its EDS, could doubling appearance found on reverse letters ONE be something else beyond "plating bubble"?

Spence Moderator United States 34539 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 7:35 pm @some, I think that the doubling on ONE CENT is likely DDD (especially that second letter N). The linear plating bubble looks like it is mostly confined to the Lincoln Memorial.

Dearborn Moderator United States 105798 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 7:39 pm yep, looks like a linear plating issue, and DDD on the word CENT. Collecting since 1972.

SomeGoodCents Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 8:00 pm Thank you for all the input, I have much to learn about error coins. DDD is Die Deteriroration Doubling? Linier plating bubble is normally found in LDS coins? Are these lines and bubble indications of LDS? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34539 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 9:08 pm Well CCF is a great place to learn and we are happy to have you here. You have DDD correct but I'm not aware of a correlation between plating issues and the die state. Maybe someone else will weigh in with a more definitive answer on that.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19534 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 9:13 pm Yes, Die Deterioration Doubling, and I've see plating bubbles--both linear and 'point'--on a variety of dies stages. It's a planchet matter. Edited by ijn1944 02/09/2022 9:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
