No I do not see Doubling die here. I admire your effort and work with the photos. In order to qualify for DDO or DDR you has to see them at 5x or max. 10x magnifier. Then you can put on micro to understand the provenience of those.

Snshne, What are you using to take photos? Needs a lot of improving for us to really help you. You need to check all three reference sites for an attribution number and let us know that number. John1

Not immediately seeing evidence of doubled dies. I believe I see a coin with a high degree of circulation hits/dings/gouges.

Your coin is a damaged coin No listings for the 1981 or 1981-D DDO cent. Yours is not.

I never said that I thought this was one of the known doubled dies, I just wanted to know if the the places with a arrow pointed at them was considered doubled. I have seen pictures and gone to multiple websites but I still have trouble discerning wether or not it is doubled. Also, what if it was, I'm not saying it is, but what if it was a new discovery then there would be no number to reference it from. As for my photos, I am magnifying the coins and the pictures are quite clear on my side plus I often use the photo editing on this website, so I really don't know why you are seeing the photos differently. I also would like to know why some of my post gets views but no replies. I don't mean to offend anyone with this reply so please don't take it personally. Sorry for waisting everyone time, I'm still new at this.

You asked if you had a DDO and/or DDR, and you didn't like our answer. From your photos,the best we can tell is around the date you have post mint circulation damage. I suggest you learn how coins are made then look for errors, it is easier that way. Keep searching!

@Snshne, Welcome to the forum. There are many life-long coin experts who regularly review thousands of submissions on their own time, on this site. All are willing to teach anyone who will try to help themselves grow through learning. Your request was fine. There are websites like varietyvista.com and doubleddie.com where you can learn a lot about coin varieties and errors. Also, you can search these forums for specific coins to see if they have an error/variety and see photos of examples (use the search field in the upper left). Our own "Coop" has developed a large collection of training materials. Just search for coop. There are many subtleties around doubled dies and while you may find some in pocket change you will find hundreds of more common events (MD, DDD, Plating Issues, PMD and others) that are much more common and unfortunately bring little or no premium over face value. But I guarantee that if you find a real doubled die and look up the possible attribution, you will have a lot of us celebrating your victory. Hope you continue to look, continue to show us photos of your coins and continue learning. This is a great place to learn. Good luck!
