Hello everyone. Well this is definitely something that happened in the mint and is not PMD. What do you call this? Die clash? What is it a bug? I bet you somebody can tell me exactly what this is. Please let me know as I am very curious and need it for my penny show

looks like it was struck with a chisel or some other blunt object.  defiantly not a Mint error.

Also, thank you for your normal reply. I'm gonna post some closer pictures and you're gonna see something different

It's PMV: post-mind vandalism.

I don't understand your quirky comment period post my invandalism. It might make sense to ybut. That's what nobody else cares. Mr. PMV. I'm gonna post some closer pictures and you're gonna see why I thought it was not PMD.

As usual whenever a user claims something isn't PMD it is PMD nothing more. I wonder if we'll be seeing this coin on eBay or Etsy anytime in the near future with the seller claiming it to be a very rare mint error.

I bet you're on here everyday with your smart replys huh? Makes u feel big... you're the guy that has a copy and paste already to go that says machine doubling machine doubling machine doubling without even looking at it. Look buddy there ain't no wishes over here I'm going to go ahead and post some closer pictures and you can go ahead and see why I would say that it wasn't PMD even though it possibly could PMD. And while you're at it get a life

   Welcome to the NGC chat board. 

   Although based on your photos of the date, your 1936 Lincoln cent does appear to be the FS-101 doubled die obverse variety, the coin has obviously been improperly "cleaned" and has an unnatural color.  It appears to have only Choice Very Fine details, not "AU 50" as stated on the holder.  I would need cropped, clear photos of both sides of the coin to make a fuller assessment, as recommended by the lead post in following topic, which you should review:

  Based on what I can see, the coin likely has a retail value of no more than $100. It probably isn't worth the cost of submitting to a grading service, except perhaps by ANACS (anacs.com), which has lower rates for grading and attribution. I don't think that a coin of such a low value would be accepted as a lone consignment by Heritage or any other major numismatic auction house.  It could be sold at a discount to a dealer at a coin shop or show or offered at a coin club auction or perhaps on ebay or a similar venue.

It might be an FS-101 or FS-102 but the 3 in the date looks wrong.  On the op's coin the base of the 3 is sloping down, but in the referenced DDO's the base of the 3 is flat.  See the attached from varietyvista.com

It could be that the 3 took a hit, but it doesn't look like it without better pics of the op's coin.  Also, attached is a 1936 1C DDO FS-101 graded VF by PCGS.

For the 1936 DDO FS 101 and FS 102 varieties, doesn't there have to be strong doubling evident not only in just the date but also in LIBERTY and the In God We Trust motto as well?? It is hard to discern from the photo given by the OP of the obverse who was just focusing on the date, but a better pic of these areas as well on the obverse would be needed in my opinion to determine if the coin is a true FS DDO variety. Otherwise, we are just looking at a more extreme example of mechanical doubling.

In addition to my doubt, I agree with Coinbuf and the others that there is a large area of damage on Lincoln's face that would earn a details grade and severely limit the value of this coin. It is not auction house worthy and would likely only see its best offering if sold on eBay.

From your pictures, I am not seeing evidence of DDO except that written on the 2x2 flip. If I am incorrect, others will let me know.

Hello all! So,. This is my very 1st true double die obverse penny. Please Emily experience point enthusiasts reply. Looking to sell. How would I establish math profits. I am already aware of having a local NGC PCGS representative grade the coins. I am aware of Heritage Auction.  But, Maybe I can just sell the coin as it is question? DO you know of any SITES OR VENUES that would help me do that?
