This is a 1989-D penny that I think has double dies not just die deterioration. I'm just showing the liberty because that is where it is obvious. Do you think this is DDO?

I think you might have something there. That does not look like machine doubling to me. I'd be curious to hear from some of the experts here. Nice find!

I bet it's machine doubling, but I'd check with Lincoln cent resource forum. I'm sure someone on here will know though. Can you get pictures of the motto and date as well?

I am fairly sure this is not machine doubling.

In the 2nd picture, the date does look like machine doubling. Machine doubling is flat and shelf like. Is that doubling on Lincoln's forehead and nose as well? Maybe a die crack going from the T in cents to lincoln's forehead. Some interesting doubling nonetheless.

It isn't a penny or a "doubled" die. The doctor is in! MD.

It definitely looks like MD to me.

Well it is worth anything? Also I just found a 1993 with what I thought was die deterioration doubling. When I search images it shows just a little step down for die deterioration. This cent has the zinc exposed like a shadow around numbers lettering and the face.

It is worth 1 cent. The 93 sounds like simple split plating. Again, worth 1 cent.

How did you list it and what was the description? Could you post a link?

You say it is doubling when it is MD. That's being deceptive. Would you want someone to rip you off? Sorry, but that's just wrong. You're the type of seller that gives coin collecting a bad rep. I suggest you pull the coin

Thank you. I understand being new, but please make sure you know what you have before selling. I and others on this forum should be able to answer most of your questions.
