I have a 1979 devil πŸ‘Ώ penny

They say there's no known double anything on the 79. Here Lincolns eye has been struck twice and it makes him look evil

    It has NOT been struck twice...except by gravel in a parking lot. That is not a "double anything". It is just a damaged coin.

    @Epiclove.... Welcome aboard. That is Post Mint Damage (PMD) and not a mint error. Cheers, RickO

    Looks like one I found on the bottom of my shoe (From) the parking lot.
    Welcome to the forum. I’m not being mean, just brutally honest.

    With all the ads and youtube videos telling people how many thousands of dollars of coins are in their pocket change, it is no wonder these new hobby "enthusiasts" think anything out of the ordinary is worth a fortune. We must realize this is their first entry into our hobby and have absolutely no knowledge of the processes creating the coins and the coin's error possibilities. All we can do is educate them as much as they allow and hope for the best.
    @Epiclove This coin is merely a damaged coin. Please read a book about the minting process and you will see why, when and how an error coin is produced. You do not have to buy a book, plenty of material is available for free via google and other online services. Welcome to the forum and I hope you educate yourself, as it will make the hobby so much more enjoyable.
