1992 D Mintmark with Double Die Obverse? 1 1

[WayneT9639]

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:-

Well sir, I’m just not smelling what you’re stepping in. I’m not seeing DDO at all on your coin. I’ll wait for other opinions on your coin for sure.

Hello Wayne, I like your dedication to the hunt I also hunt almost every day. The coin looks like Die Deterioration more than a Double Die. It is just from a worn out die is letting the metal push over toward the rim .Whenever I roll hunt I check some reference sites for coins to see if there are any others .This may help. I checked here and there is no listing for a1992 D DDO.http://www.varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/DDO listing.htm I am not saying you may someday find a coin that is not on the list it happens but not very often.

Wayne T.  This looks to me like worn out dies.  the letters start to get that flat almost like a sliding motion to them.  keep hunting  they are still out there!!

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'm not seeing a DDO either.  For the future see this topic which has info on DDO's as well as an infographic on doubling that will likely be helpful in your future coin endeavors.

I have been coin collecting and plugging away at roll hunting for a while, and decent errors really are once in a blue moon.

Ok so what you found is a bogus ebay listing/seller, it is unfortunate that it shows up in the PCGS database, here are some simple and basic things that would have tipped you off that the description is wrong.  First did you do a cert lookup for that NGC cert?  I'm guessing not because if you had this is what you see.

Note that the label does not say this is a double die, because it is not one, the ebay seller was lying.   Second did you notice on the PCGS site the PCGS coin #

If you had clicked on that number it would have taken you to the coinfacts page for a normal regular everyday 1992-D coin.   DDO or DDR coins are given a unique coin id number by PCGS as you can see from this screenshot taken from PCGS coinfacts of the 1995 and 1995 DDO coins.   Notice that the id number is different for a 1995 and 1995 DDO, if PCGS recognized a 1992-D DDO it would have its own unique id number.

It may seem like I'm picking on you, but that is not what I'm doing, I am trying to help you find the correct information in the future.   The internet is full of great information, and at the same time tons of misinformation, you have to know how to separate the two.   There are doubled die coins out there to be found, for 1972 there are ten different doubled die varieties, I actually found a coin from die #10 two weeks ago whils searching a bu roll I have.   It is so minor that none of the TPG's (well maybe ANACS) will even attribute it on the holder, and this is true of many of the minor varieties.  But still I put it into a flip with the information and will hang onto it just because I can, as I said not tring to diswade your efforts but until you know what to look for its mostly just a waste of time.

I suggest that you review the Wexler site, he has a very informational segments on how dies are made, doubled dies what is and what is not, well worth the read.

   Always bear in mind that on a doubled die coin the two images are crisp and approximately the same depth. If the secondary image is distinctly shallower than the primary image, it is some lesser form of doubling, such as strike doubling (distinct but shallow secondary image) or, as here, die deterioration doubling (faint or "ghostly" secondary image). The 1972 doubled die obverse cent (Redbook variety, FS 101) that I'm going to show is a good example, although there are many less prominent doubled dies where the doubling is much closer together and/or only shows on some of the letters, numbers, or other features.
