Alright, fast on the heels of my sore disappointment with the 2020-P dime, I was given a Hail Mary in a roll of pennies. A DDO date on a 1992-D LMC. There appears to be a bit of coupling in Mr. Lincoln's beard as well. I also found some interesting markings on the reverse, along the rim by the "UNITED STATES", but I'm not 100% whether that is also doubled die or not. Interested in everyone's thoughts and feedback - thanks in advance!

MD. Lincolns beard may be doubled. Can't tell for sure.

Okay, so then why does it look like two nines for each 9? I'm still trying to figure out this microscope, so I apologize for the pictures being less than perfect. Please also forgive me that I'm new to this and would really appreciate help/guidance in knowing what to look for instead of just being shot down. Thanks!

Quote:That is called Die Deterioration Doubling - from a die that was near the end of its useful life Aren't you the sneaky one?  I couldn't think of that. Dearborn to the rescue. Sorry JWBeez...it's confusing enough, I know. Start looking at some other photos of doubles. It should come to you and once it does you will see them for sure. To me a double looks more like a shadow in the metal but, that's just me.

dsking, it's all good. Yours wasn't the comment that irked me. Just wanted to remind some of the old pros that they were once green and needed teaching, not dismissing, too. My grandfather collected wheat pennies, and just before he passed, he gave them to me. My dad collected foreign coins, and he passed when I was really young of cancer. Anyway, I kept both collections stashed for YEARS. We moved a couple of years ago, and my son found them and asked what they were. He and I looked through them and it brought back some pretty awesome memories. So I started collecting coins myself. We both enjoy it, and finding oddballs like this is exciting - which is really saying something because we both have ADHD!  I wish there were better sources for information on errors and varieties, but what I have found thus far on the interwebs is sensationalism and more YouTube Billy Mays wannabes than I can stand.

 to the CCF This is a very good place to learn what an error or variety is. Use the search tab, almost anything you want to know is here. And we are not going to steer you wrong. Nice you and your son are doing it together.
