This 1970-D Lincoln cent features a distinct Doubled Die Obverse error with doubling visible on Lincoln's portrait, date, and lettering. The Denver-minted coin (indicated by the "D" mint mark) maintains exceptional luster with attractive original copper-red coloration and minimal signs of handling. The reverse shows the Lincoln Memorial with clear architectural details and strong strike characteristics. This example demonstrates the classic doubled die error, which occurs during die production when the hub makes multiple impressions at slightly different angles on the die. All coins struck from this die exhibit identical doubling. The 1970-D DDO is a scarcer doubled die variety than many later dates, making it particularly desirable to error collectors. This example's well-preserved condition and strong doubling characteristics make it an excellent addition to any Lincoln cent error collection.
