    The correct terminology is Doubled Die.

    The D mm on the OP’s coin is in the wrong position to be VP-002 RPM-006.

    Greenstang got a reaction from EagleRJO in first of all thanks for looking steel 1943 penny   
    You can post as many as you want as long as they are each on a separate thread.
    Not sure of your question or if you have one but what I see is a discoloured 1943 steel cent.   
    If you are not sure, the weight to two decimal points will tell you if it is steel or not.   
    Steel is 2.70g   Copper is 3.11g

    Greenstang got a reaction from Sandon in 2017 D Penny. Error? Beautiful orange   
    Discolouration is not an error, it is caused by whatever environment it was exposed to.   
    It would cost you in excess of $65.00 to have a coin worth 1 cent to be graded.

    And there wouldn’t be as it is not a variety. A variety is created on the die so every coin struck 
    from that die would be the same, not a one off as the OP’s coin.

    Unless a coin has a value of at least $200.00, it is not worth the $65.00 or so to get graded.  
    Usuallly only high grade or rarer coins get graded unless you have a personal reason.
      Out of curiosity, what is it with “newbies” that they want to get regular business strikes graded?   
    Please don’t say you saw it on YouTube that they are valuable.

    Not sure how you obtained this Morgan, but because of the value, it is also heavily counterfeited.   
    As suggested by previous members, post a clear photo of both sides and we can start from there.

    Greenstang got a reaction from Lem E in Jefferson nickel steps Rev of 38 or 40. What do you see?   
    Not much to go by but I would say that is a Variety 2.   
    I remember reading on another site that there were 25% of Variety 1 and 75% of Variety 2 minted in 1939

    Greenstang got a reaction from powermad5000 in Newbie quality control question   
    The mint run their coin presses at high speed and quantity gives priority over quality.   
    Any errors, as they are usually a one off, would not probably be noticed until the coins
    were bagged and send out for distribution.

    A kitchen scale is useless for weighing cins, you need an accurate weight to at least two decimal points to be of any help.
