1984 P Lincoln Cent DDR Discovery?

#1 Unread post by II LEEBO II »

If I am in the wrong place, sorry in advance.

Not trying to get anyone’s hopes up, mine included, but I think I have something that some of you might want to see. I hope! It’s very busy in here so I’ll keep it short. I’ll say what I know, and what I think I know.

This penny is circulated. It is a mint state red penny. I don’t think it’s ever been cleaned. The COLOR is DEFINITELY OFF in these pictures. It’s my lighting and the only way I could get the best textures out of these images. I think I see doubling on the reverse of this 1984 P Lincoln cent. It’s on the “O” and “N” in “ONE”. I don’t think it’s mechanical doubling. The weight is 2.54g. I got on error-ref.com, and Variety Vista for references. I saw the type of doubling I think it could be, if it is doubling.

Am I missing something, or is this something worth looking into👀? I’d love to hear some takes on this. It is a very interesting coin. All I’ve ever seen anywhere is the 1984 P DDOs. This is obviously not normal, or anything I’ve seen listed anywhere. Only posted the 3 pics, but have more if interested. Sorry if the subject was a little much, but I am curious. Thanks for your time!✌🏻

I agree with Sal, there are only two listings at VV for a DDR for this year and Mint and neither match. :cry:
