Did you request that the coin be examined for an error and pay the $18 fee? If you did then I have to assume that NGC felt the rotation was not significant enough to be labeled as an error. I tend to agree with that assessment but it's close.
From the NGC website "NGC will recognize rotated die mint errors only if there is at least 15 degrees of rotation."
I paid for both error AND variety attributions.

I'd be interested in reading that business plan.
the plan is simple,
Step 1. Hunt
Step 2. Sell

This would be WAY MORE than the 15 degrees clockwise and certainly about 15 degrees anti-clockwise. The thing is rotated to the 11 o'Clock position. Idk man...

I am disappointed with my first coin grading experience but I WILL continue to hunt coins and get the best finds graded. I recently sent this 1970 S Large Date penny in to NGC for attribution. I wasn't as concerned with the grade as I am with the error attribution. I even included a note explaining my find and it's super obvious if you look at the images below. I have no idea why such an obvious error would not be attributed by one of the biggest grading companies in the world. Regardless, I am still on a mission to make 7 figures off coins, errors and varieties!

Thanks for the input guys. As always your professional insight from years of experince is greatly appreciated.
That being said, I took a closer look at the coin and I'm just gonna post the pics and you guys tell me what you see. So, in addition to the missing "of" on the reverse, there may be something on the obverse.

hello Team,
I know these are pretty common but I've never seen one this extreme to point where it's almost as if the word "of" is missing from the United States of America on the reverse of the coin. I think it's a cool piece for conversation so I'm keeping it. I call it the "United States - America" Lincoln Cent because that's exactly what it looks like.

I'm no expert on this but to me it looks like this impression MAY HAVE BEEN in the planchet before the strike. I could be wrong. I base my theory on the fact that if this impression was made after the strike it would flatten a lot of the more minute and delicate details like the steps, the edge of the columns, etc. Just my "one cent". --Pun intended

Where did you get the screenshot in your OP? Was it from a known and reputable source or just some guy on fakebook? I am asking these questions because we cannot discuss or compare your coin with the photo you supplied if we have no idea where you got the photo from or the validity of what it is. In the future provide a link to your example coin if it comes from a reputable site, I will not click on links to FB, Twitter, or the like. Or in leu of a link provide the source of the example. Variety Vista has no listing for any DDO for 1992-D, and while Wexler has one listed it looks nothing like either the photo you copied or the one you found. Both your coin and the one in the top photo look like die erosion as the others have said.
Do you know what a doubled die is? I am not asking that to be snarky or rude but it seems a valid question given what you have posted in this and prior threads. If you do not know what to look for it is nearly impossible for you to identify something, it seems that you are looking for the Titanic by digging in the desert.
The example I am cross referencing can be found on the PCGS website here https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/item/1992-d-1c-rd/3101/7033467905972502349

I hope I can rejoice that I've found something this time. This 1992 shows what looks tome like a DDO.. After spending the entire weekend and Monday looking for examples, the closest I found was the screenshot below.
Now, the coin I have is almost exactly the same, minus the abbrasion doubling seen around the 9 and the 2 in the above image. The next set of images will be the coin I found while roll hunting. It has the same line down the middle of all the numbers and letters except for the D mintmark.
here are my photos:-

hello again Team,
Just wondering what to call this find and check if this is a known/recognized variety. I do believe I saw a similar variety sold on ebay some years ago when I just heard about coin collecting. My hunch is it may be a minor error/variety since it's not visible with the naked eye. What's your take?

This coin has a nice die break and is worth saving as a conversation piece. However, die breaks are quite common and generally not worth much of a premium, unless the break has become so severe that a piece has broken out of the die, resulting in a blank area or raised blob on the coin that error collectors call a "cud". Mint employees usually replace the broken die before it gets to that point, so "cuds" are scarce.
Collectors of older (mostly pre-1837) U.S. sometimes collect them by "die states" that involve the progression of die breaks as the dies were used, but this is rarely the case for modern coins. There are just too many dies used for each issue.
I've been collecting coins and looking through change for over 52 years and have seen a fair number of coins with die breaks, but hardly any errors more significant than a couple of broadstruck quarters and a blank cent planchet. Significant errors and varieties rarely turn up in change. Someone older than I am got a struck cent that had been overstruck by nickel dies a few years ago at the supermarket, though, so it's worthwhile to keep looking!
Very informative @Sandon. That is what I love most about this community. Very helpful and informative. Since I found this quarter I've developed a habbit of carefully inspecting ALL fiat that passes through my hand and if I see anything then I put it under a microscope to verify. I have 3 die cud errors I found doind that.

Maybe it's a "drooling eagle" "slobbering eagle while flying inverted to show off to the lady eagle who has flown off with another eagle guy" variety.
Interesting coin to learn from about minting - but not of much value.
you crack me up @RWB

Thanks for bringing this up @powermad5000. Us newbies will certainly benefit from this knowledge. I share the same opinion as you. I consider the CAC and MAC stickers to be like that colorful star or smiley face sticker my first grade teacher would give us whenever we aced a test . That stuff used to get me so hyped up!

I found this beautiful specimen (1996 P Mintmark Washington Quarter with Die Crack/Die Break Error) in my pocket change around November 2022. It's in horrible shape however I can't seem to find anything even remotely close to this. I believe I may have found a very unique error here. Any help or reference/cross-refence resources for this specific Die Break Error would be greatly appreciated since I'm not finding anything on it.

Welcome to the NGC chat board.
It is preferable to post photos of the entire obverse and reverse of the coin, as well as the area that interests you. In this case, it would be helpful to know which of the 4 commemorative reverses the coin has.
I see ever so slight thickening on some of the date numerals and the mint mark of your 2009-D cent but none on the earlobe, just a nick. The coin could be a very minor doubled die obverse, which wouldn't likely be of much value. You might check out the 2009-D listings on Wexler's website at Wexler's Coins and Die Varieties (doubleddie.com) and the other sites to which he refers to see if you can find a match.
Thank you so much! I did check that website and it looks a little like the second-to-last and the last images in the article I found here: http://doubleddie.com/90701.html What do you think?

hello Team,
Been hunting through coin rolls for around a month now. I'm a complete newbie to the hobbie so your professional opinion is highly appreciated.
So I found this 2009 D Lincoln cent and I'm wondering if this is a legitimate DDO or just machine doubling. The date seem to be doubled and the earlobe opens up some questions for me. Hope my eyes aren't getting old. lol.. Thanks for your input team.
1970 S Large Date Penny with Rotated Die NOT ATTRIBUTED?!?!?!?

I appreciate you sharing this info! I know I have a VERY LONG way to go. I am building this collection of slabbed coins to leave as inheritance for my unborn grandkids. Gold, silver, copper and nickel collections.
