Jblau190 Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 04/30/2023 8:49 pm So I was looking closely at this 1992 penny and noticed some doubling specifically around the date. I assume it is DDD or something but can someone explain why it appears to have doubling around all sides of each number? I was under the impression that DDD is usually only shows on one side of each number. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Sorry if a dumb question, I am still learning and figured you guys would be the best people to explain what exactly I'm looking at here. Thanks! Sorry for not top quality photos. Best I could do with my photo camera! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95936 Posts	Posted 04/30/2023 9:00 pm It is moving in the wrong direction for DDD, So just a deteriorated and worn die seems logical. Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn, thats what threw me off. doesn't seem like DDO OR DDD (because it's not only on side of the edge) but doubling appears to be on all sides so wasnt sure what I was looking at here.
