Thank you all 

I know it’s not pretty but it looks like it’s  been over a struck or something? I think I found designers initials?  Thank you

Thank you & I will keep looking

Thanks for the better pics, I'm still a no on this one. I don't see any split serifs, added thickness or signs of demarcation lines in the letters. Pics are still kind of mushy but are good enough to put this to rest, I think. 

 

Okay I tried Thank you for your time and helpThank you for your time and help.

While it did look interesting I'm chalking that up to the poor image quality. If your looking for DDs this is the place to go to compare them to known examples. 1983 DDR-002 (varietyvista.com) 

This picture came out a little better I took it in the daylight. Was checking out the link you sent I think it matches up pretty good. & Obverse Die Scratches

Do you think It is a DDR? Thank you all

Nope...definitely not the Doubled Ear.  I've sold two of them for my little coin resale venture and it's a naked eye pickup.  If you had the Doubled Ear, there would be no question about it.  It pops right out at you.

The double ear Will be a guessing game for me until I see one in hand. Then maybe I’ll be able to figure it out  thank you 

Trying to figure out if this is the double ear or not any help would be appreciated.

Thank you all for your input and your help I truly do appreciate it.

This is a pic of the doubling elements you need to look for on a 1995 Lincoln DDO FS-101.  The last pic you added is showing either machine doubling or lighting glare, or both.   

Thank you i’m just learning to use my USB microscope

1995 penny is it a DDO?

Came across this 1990 Lincoln penny and I was wondering if it could be a double strike?

Double die/die clash

Looks like someone has poured something (solder maybe?) on the coin and imbedded a design in it.

Whatever it is it's damage.

 Yeah it’s weird  I took a dry Q-tip to it and just lightly rubbed it and it shined up I have no idea but it solid

Hey any ideas what happened to this penny

Definitely a thumb or finger print. It looks circulated, so it may have happened when it was spent., or when someone pulled it out of a cash register to make change.

Ok thank you just bob

On the  reverse There looks like there’s a thumbprint ? And is a thumbprint from examining the coin? Thank you

I know people mess with coins all the time. But how is it possible to bring a coin down to the weight level of this one and for there to be any detail left

What is a   Loc blank   Planchet  look like

Definitely post minting damage. No way it looked like that when it was struck.

 Probably someone just messing around But I figured I’d put it up to see what you guys think.

You'll hear squared off vs. rounded for proof vs. business strike rims.  If I could draw a side diagram it'd be something like:   |_| vs. U

Looking at actual proof coins in hand as @VKurtB suggested would be beneficial to compare.

 

Nice picture. thank you 

Thank you guys for your help. I’m trying to learn the rim difference This coin game  isn’t  easy

Hey guys. This 1990 Penny Has a nice wink when you turn it in the light. And I don’t know how to tell a proof coin  from  A regular straight coin  could you help ?

"Auto White Balancing" actually makes coin photos more unreliable in color on anything but blast white coins. Gold and copper/bronze coins will always mess up AWB. Manual white balancing specifically matching your light source is required. Watch anyone setting up a video shoot. They spend time white balancing on a white card, specifically because AWB is so unreliable. Yet most inexperienced coin photographers blindly use AWB, and get strange colors on their non-white coin photos. Manually set your white balance on a CLEAN white card under the lights you'll be shooting with, for best results. If you're using a camera phone, this will require a "fancy" app, not the one that came with the phone/camera.

Ok nice thank you 

Can you guys help me with this one Is this a   Re-punched mint mark ? And also the color dark Any ideas
