    Welcome to the Forum.

    Agree with the above.  
    That looks like Die Deterioration Doubling, another worthless type of Doubling.

    Welcome to the Forum.
    You should really have posted this in the Newbie Coin Forum for maximum coverage.  
    This forum is for questions unrelated to numismatics. I have asked for a mod to move it.
    As far as your coin goes, a clear photo of both sides is required as their are countless numbers. 
    of counterfeits out there. You can buy one of off one of the Chinese sites for a couple of dollars.

    That is a one look counterfeit. The rims and date are dead giveaways.

    It is not only the cost of the dies, it is also the lost production in down time changing the dies   
    and readjusting the coining press to the new dies. I have read that when running one cent coins,   
    they try to get runs of close to a million before changing the dies.  
    Don’t forget the mint puts quantity or quality.

    Greenstang got a reaction from Hoghead515 in 1953d underweight 2.7grams.   
    I take it that your scale is calibrated correctly.
    If that is the case taking the +- in consideration, it is .21g underweight, possibly from a thin planchet.

    Welcome to the Forum.
    That looks like Die Deterioration Doubling caused by a worn die.  
    It would only occur on dies that have had many strikes causing wear.
    There is no premium for this as it is part of the minting process.

    Greenstang got a reaction from RonnieR131 in What caused this gold coin defect   
    It may be from an improperly mixed gold alloy.  
    Gold has a small percentage of copper in it and sometimes it shows through the gold if not properly mixed.
