This is my first post/question about a possible coin error (or is this a variety?), but I think it might be a DDO. The penny isn't in the best shape, so I'm also wondering, if it is a DDO, is it in good enough shape to submit for 'official' grading? Since I'm new to this, I'm open to feedback on my photos, as well. Right now, just using my phone, so not sure if the quality is on point for review. And the color is off on the profile pic. Thanks in advance! Edited by Archival-Monk 05/14/2024 4:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19208 Posts	Posted 05/14/2024 4:27 pm Agree--that's classic Machine Doubling, not a DDO. In my opinion, not a good candidate for grading submission. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 05/14/2024 4:28 pm @arch, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree with @cent and @ijn that you have a nice example of Machine Doubling for this cent. It was more common in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but is still seen today. You can tell because it is steplike and causes the design elements to become thinner.

Archival-Monk New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 05/14/2024 4:40 pm Thanks for the feedback and clarification! I perused the Machine Doubling link/gallery, and after looking at all of the examples, I can see how my penny fits in that category. So I can continue to learn, would you say this is a 'push doubling'? Or, @ijn1944, when you say it's a 'classic' Machine Doubling, are you identifying it as a 'classic doubling', or saying that it's just a good example of Machine Doubling?

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 05/14/2024 6:04 pm to the CCF This is push doubling which is a form of Machine Doubling. I went through a bag of 68s that about 300 0f them look like this. Report this Post to the Staff
