Also, I took pics of front and back on phone but every time I try to log in on phone, it logs me out as soon as I get to forum so I can't post them. Microscope doesn't let me zoom out enough to take full coin pic.

Hi. Going thru more rolls and came across this. Vest caught my attention. What is this? I thought MD but its super raised. Ty in advance

Hmm, I didn't WANT it to look like anything. I see what I see. It looks like a G. I can't make it look like a cat but that's what I would WANT it to look like. Unfortunately, all i can see is a G. But Greenstang, I appreciate your helpful reply.

Thank you for the reply. I just got my new microscope and I am seeing a lot of weird stuff on these coins now. But this just looked like a perfectly shaped G so I had to ask.

Is there really a G here or is this PMD?

Split plate doubling, form of strike doubling.   Google it for an in-depth explanation.

Thank you! I know I ask a lot but if I don't know what it's called, I don't know how to google it. Ty for your reply

Neither ddo or lighting? What then? I'd like to learn if you can give a more explanatory reply

It looks weird. Is it DDO or lighting issues

You fine. If you dont ask you will never know. I encourage new collectors to ask questions. I still ask quite a few questions myself. I have learned a whole lot like that. Most things I try to google but ,if Im still not certain or dont understand, I will ask about it. And everyones opinions together help. 

Very true. Thank you.

Ok ty for reply. I'm just trying to learn how to see these things on my own so I don't have to keep asking. But wasn't really asking if it was an error. Curious if I was seeing what I thought I saw.

My newbie question of the day. Clearly this penny has issues but it looks like a reverse D next to the D mint mark. Is this just gooey mess?

Thanks guys for all your replies. It's a lot to learn but I'm trying so I can stop asking all these newbie questions

It doesn't look like the double ear examples but something is definitely going on with it. PMD?

Welcome kerisinc ..I have been roll hunting forever and I have found a couple and a lot of other strange items but they were not anything to write home about. Keep hunting it's fun. You will find something it may not be a 55 but ya never know. 

Thank you. I started only a week ago and jumped right in. I'm on my second box now. The fun of it is flipping over that coin and not knowing what you will see. I'm enjoying it but it's also very cool to hope I'll find something rare.

Hi kerisinc ....Hard to tell from just one picture but It looks like a stain from another coin that was on top of this one.

Sorry, here is a full pic. It's not very clear but ty for your reply

I've never seen this before but it goes all the way across. I thought it was just PMD but the letters don't seem to be damaged? Maybe I just can't see clearly enough. Thanks in advance

Grr. Not what I wanted to see but I'm determined. I'll find my first DDO!

Sorry for the weird pic. It gives me a really tough time uploading here. I have to post whatever it allows me to

I found the list of varieties for this coin but I cannot locate any of the other DDO on it. It makes me second guess this being one. Thanks in advance

Ha ty. This is Samsung s20 ultra phone cam magnified ×6 and taken, then pic zoomed and screenshot. It's annoying using phone cam so would love microscope

Ty coinbuf. And unfortunately, I do not have a microscope yet.

1989D penny, DDR? Speaking of the columns
