Now this one got me pretty excited just a bit ago after being handed this '92 D penny back in change this m!! I was literally trying to look through pocket loupe, drive, then take and crop pics on way to my 1st stop! Too anxious to wait til I got stopped and definitely wouldn't be able to concentrate on work all day, if I were to wait til I get off to post pics on this forum! So, haven't been able to clean him up yet, or get to my good equip to examine further and get better pics. At first I was certain I had a DD, but I'm having doubts the more I look! I realize this one isn't in the greatest condition, but would still be pumped if this turns out to be a DD. My hopes were diminished when I saw some of the same doubling on the obverse, but here he is anyways! The doubling seems pretty consistent on all the elements, but I'm not able to settle in and look closer yet, just wanted everyone's opinion         |

DDD. That year had a lot of issues that year.  On this affected areas note: 1. The affected areas are towards the rim directions. 2. The affected areas are on the fields, and not on the devices. 3. So the devices are normal sized, no spread on the devices. Just the fields are showing this. This is just a die wear issue. This is seen on the single squeeze dies, not on the older dies with the multi hub process. Thus this is not, hub doubling. It was a normal die when it was fist used. It is a die event of the aging process. It will continue to get worse until the die is polished. Then the fields again will look normal, but the devices will be smaller. The Ridge Ring will start to appear as more and more coins are struck The mint doesn't notice this, but we are the ones who see it. Just not a doubled die, no device spread. |

Yea I figured that once I saw the doubling on both sides, with everything towards the rim, but what got me was E pluribus unum! They looked like a DD, then it looked like I could see the lines in the middle of a device here and there! NT in cent, UNIT, and the last couple on America?

Again my pics need to be clearer, but now he's somewhere in the abyss named "work truck"! It might be a week before I'm able to find him again in there

And I'm not trying to insult Dr coop or anyone else, not in disagreement with the great Dr, but I'm serious when I say I've been looking at too many, my eyes play tricks on me,

DDD is what I see, the die that minted this coin should have been retired before it minted this coin.
