Doubling and die crack or just ugly? 1917-D Cent

[tlowery04]

Just wondering if this coin has evidence of doubling in the e plur and unum and a die crack across the wheat and into the edge of the N or if I'm just bored out of my mind without a box of change and looking too hard at an abused coin. I'm stil trying to learn coin grading so bear with me for now =) thanks in advance

To me it looks for sure that there is clear evidence of the die crack. Not so sure about the doubling but I'm far from an expert in Lincoln cents.

not as sure now that I see it in negative, but i tried to outline what i was thinking, on the N especially the line that goes from top left to bottom right appears three times, once through the middle of the U, all at the same angle. Most Likely PMD I guess. I'll still send it in for the die crack though, I like that one.

No doubling just die deterioration on the reverse as well as a couple die cracks but no premium. Keep it if you like it though......

The die crack adds no extra value, so not worth sending it in for grading.

okie doke, guess it goes in a flip then. how is that a die crack on a 1917 cent adds no value but one on a statehood quarter that makes it look like theres an extra leaf or tree or some other malarky adds a 10 fold premium?

It is not a die crack on the extra leaf.

And the extra trees aren't die cracks either. They are doubled dies.

and what about the malarky....

I believe the malarky is caused by excess grease.
