JenniferJames New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 05/15/2022 6:56 pm I have this 1968 d penny with multiple errors on it but I'm new to this so I want to make sure I'm seeing the right things. Can anyone out there help me with some honest feedback because I really need to know if its worth spending money on getting it certified and graded. * Edited by Staff to clarify topic title. * Report this Post to the Staff

JenniferJames New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 05/15/2022 8:50 pm So pretty much all I'm seeing is doubling on the obverse and reverse side. Does anybody see something I'm missing or am I missing the whole picture? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21614 Posts	Posted 05/15/2022 8:51 pm to the CCF Sorry but I can't see anything that would be classed as an error or a doubled die. What you have is known as Machine Doubling, a worthless type of doubling. Certainly not worth spending $50.00 or so getting a coin worth 1 cent graded. Also FYI, a doubled die is not an error, it is a variety. Edited by JimmyD 05/15/2022 8:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1496 Posts	Posted 05/15/2022 8:52 pm Looks like minor Machine Doubling, possibly, but also some circulation flattening. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/15/2022 9:25 pm Machine Doubling on on the 1968-1972 cents is very common. No premium for these. So it would be a waste of money to had it slabbed. ($50+) for a coin worth one cent. Edited by coop 05/15/2022 9:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

JenniferJames New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 05/15/2022 10:21 pm Thanks for that feedback, I really need to do some studying because this is my first time hearing of Machine Doubling.I really appreciate everyone thoughts on the matter. Here is an upclose of the doubling I thought I saw>> Report this Post to the Staff
JenniferJames New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 05/15/2022 10:47 pm Would this be considered a double die on the 1995 and Liberty>>>>>Anything? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/16/2022 04:47 am . On the 1995 looks like DDD=die deterioration doubling. On your other coin might be MD but really need better photos to help you. Here is a good site to read up on coin errors and varieties:http://www.error-ref.com/ John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/16/2022 12:28 pm A closer view of what DDD look like: Note the fields are affected, not the devices. First step in die wear on the single squeeze dies on cents. Second step is the Ridge Ring. Third step of polishing off the devices making them smaller and start to disappear. Forth step? Probably retirement. (Still waiting to see if they ever show up) Report this Post to the Staff
