Who has found here the most valuable penny???

Yes, i say probably just for my own ignorance but i was not doubting him
 

In case there was confusion, I was referring to the 1992-D close AM being genuine, not his avatar. :)
 

Many years ago I lived in Oak Ridge Tennessee when I was growing up. I remember hunting coke bottles for a 2 cent deposit and hunting for coins under the bleachers of our high school stadium of the Wildcats and everything was silver and copper. In 1959 I was 8 years old and remember finding a 1955 cent with a very clear double date and I knew nothing about coins at the time. I showed it to my parents and they didn't know. I remember caring it in a special place in my Roy Rogers billfold for about a year. My Dad had a 55 chevy and this unusual looking double date 1955 was special to me even though I knew nothing of its value. Then one day I wanted a piece of bubble gum from a coin machine...didn't have any money and remembered I had that one cent in my special hiding place and guess what...I got it out and put the red, 1955 DD right in that machine and got my gum. I will never forget that. Thought I would share this with you all.

Good story. Makes you wonder where it ended up.
 

I have found a 1922 plain type 1 with a strong reverse a few months ago while dirt fishing 😁

The strong reverse is actually the type 2 coin. Amazing find, esp in the ground. Awesome!
 

Is it has the strong reverse and no D the it is a type two and the most desirable
 

I have found 1972-P Lincoln in type 3, 6, and 8. Just found a new style 2014P double die. Just happened a few days ago, the "I" in liberty is a clear double. I'll have to send it to somebody to have it officially looked at and evaluated. Look at the top of the "I" especially. 2014.jpg
 

I would like to see a close-up of the date. This looks like a trick of the lighting.
 

Ater looking at it on my computer monitor I have to say it's md. Sorry.
 

Machine doubling. Not rare or considered a valuable error.

To me, though, it looks like it may require further inspection, it looks like the letters themselves may be double struck.
 

To me the B in your image makes me think its actually double died but the i looks either to be die'd and then the press shifted as it was releasing the coin and smeared the edges of it. But i'm not sure actually the only way to tell is to get a very good magnifying glass and look at it's 3rd dimensions.Kind of also looks like a mint strike? (not sure if that's the right term... like umm lettering that would be engraved (like yours appears) rather than embossed (any other coin (Letters stick out)) to preserve the lettering longer. Verdict: On the fence.
