With no question asked, I will guess and say that you want to know if that is a DDO.   
If so, then the answer is no, that is common Machine Doubling. You also have some.  
letters that are grease filled.

Welcome to the Chat Board

Please start a new thread for each coin. It causes confusion with more than one coin per post.

To answer your  question, the mint marks were hand punched so it could be anywhere below the date    
and right  of the bust to be acceptable. In theory if there were 20 dies produced, the mint mark could be
in a slightly different position on each one plus they were not always punched straight.

No need to weigh it, it is 100% counterfeit.

I have never seen anything like it either and could not find anything like it on the internet.   
Looks like some sort of aftermarket set. Could you show a picture of the coins enclosed.

Reading metal composition is not always the answer to detecting counterfeits. 
There are many counterfeits out there that are the same composition as a genuine
coin. Plus a lot of of the equipment out there only read the surface so if a coin is silver    
or gold plated, it will still read as silver or gold. You would be better off with a good set
of scales that read to at least two decimal points to compare weights. Even this does
not eliminate all counterfeits but will eliminate some. For me personally I find the best way    
is to do a side by side photo comparison of the coin in question and a genuine one looking
for slight differences in the design. I always start with the date as this seems to be an area
that counterfeiters have the most trouble with.

As per Coinbuf, it is just worthless Machine Doubling.
You could not have a DD on the mint mark as they were hand punched

Contact NGC, they should be able to change it.

Yes, it is the Small Eagle but it doesn’t say anything on the holder

Not sure what you mean by the B in the same spot.  That mark on the left side is just damage    
if that is what you are referring to.

Just as you say, a smashed dime.

Looks like environmental corrosion, possibly from being buried.

In the future, please show both sides and crop and rotate your photos. We don’t need all of that background. Don’t know why so many Newbies post photos upside down or sideways, they wouldn’t hang a picture on the wall that way.

As I.cutler stated, we need to see both sides to tell what it is. ( You should always show both sides on any post).   
Unless it is off enough that the lettering is running over the edge, it is acceptable and has no premium.

Even without the misspelled edge lettering, I would say it is a counterfeit.

Welcome to the Chat Board

Hard to see the edge but it looks like it has been plated.

Why not put this post I’m the “Ask NGC/NCS” forum. 
Someone there would be more capable of answering your question.

Agree with Sandon. A typical counterfeit with no value.   
If you sent it in it would just returned as counterfeits are not graded.

How can that be called a coin? Looks more like some sort of token.

First of all if you are going to weigh coins, a scale to at least two decimal points is required.   
One decimal point is not accurate enough. The +- variation for that copper cent is 1.13g.  
which would bring the minimum weight to 2.98g. The rest could probably be attributed to
wear and corrosion

What would you like to know about it?   
As stated, a nice looking 1946 Philadelphia mint cent. With over 991 million struck, doesn’t hold too much value.

I agree that it  is a WAM. Have always said that the worst way of teelling is the distance between the A M, there are too many variables.   

Besides the initials, you can also tell by e placing of the A between the TAT in STATES. If it is centered, it is a WAM, if the T is not centered, it is a CAM

With those 5 dings on the Obverse, I think that would bring it down to a MS 65

I need help grading this 2000 Wide AM Cent   My guest is an MS67 

Agree, it has been attacked with acid which eats away the copper core.   
Maybe someone making a small yo-yo.

Welcome Newbie

First, this is the registry forum for registered sets, you should post in the Newbie Forum for best results.   
Also in the future, always supply a complete photo of both sides of the coin and do not use screen shots,   
they are too pixilated. This will better help us help you.   
As far as your cent goes, there is no DDR, maybe some Machine Doubling, a little hard to tell.

Ifyou are going to compare coins, you have to compare the same year.  
Dies and mint mark styles can change from year to year,

That is common Machine Doubling, one of the worthless types of doubling.
