1985D penny dd or machine error?

Found this roll hunting looks weird. Wondering what it would be classified as. Thanks for the opinions in advance

  • Sorry about that, really shiny penny I took one with a greyscale so hopefully you guys can see it better

    Appears to be machine or shelf doubling... interesting, but no numismatic value... Cheers, RickO

  • Definitely looks to be machine or shelf like Ricko stated.

    What does the rest of the coin look like close up?

    It looks like what's called
    "Split line doubling".

    The copper plating shifted a bit during
    the striking of the coin. A very common
    effect, especially on broadstruck coins
    that don't have a collar to hold the planchet
    in. But it happens on normally struck coins too.

  • Thanks for input guys, what Fred said seems to make sense, seems like the center of the numbers is missing. Thanks again all until next time. Keeping up the hunt
