Year: 1986
Mint: Denver

Never heard of an 86d ddo before. This looks intresting. No other visible doubling in the lettering.

20472
Edit: Typo, Also is there a good post/site that explains the different classes of doubling? I hear about them all the time, but have no idea what it means.

The doubling appears to be from Die Deterioration Doubling (DDD); the off-set incuse type prevalent during the late eighties and early nineties. Pretty common but cool looking as it is often naked eye obvious.
I have a thread here on DDD: http://www.lincolncentresource.net/forums/showthread.php?t=6169
And my site here has Other Forms of Doubling including DDD and MD: www.lincoln-cents.cuvelier.org/OFD

Don't look now but here's a DDD example on eBay listed as a "Double Die Strike Error," the seller has a little bit of everything in the title but what it really is: DDD.

:( Ah well thanks for your opinions back to the grind I guess. Origionally I thought it was some sort of MD, but when I looked at it again the doubling on the 9,8, and 6 seemed to be completely seperate images. Eh still a neat example.

Sad thing is Aisha is that they probably already are members and use the info to mislead others. :tinysmile_hmm_t2:
or if they become members, they would think we are all stupid and go against us anyway. I email them about their coin on ebay all the time and they get angry and say that everyone is just harassing them..lolol
I would say aleast 98% of the people selling bs on ebay KNOW they are selling bs on ebay and not some rare find.
