D. 1978 D penny with a triple die maybe quadruple die on reverse and obverse. On the obverse you can see multiple faces,shoulders and front part of suit jacket. You can also see tripling on the letters along with a repunch mint mark. You can see where it has been broadstuck or off center struck in the obverse. On the reverse you can see tripling in the letters along with a cud to the bottom left of coin. On the reverse you can see die cracks appearing to the right top and right bottom of the memorial. some columns on the memorial appear melted. The side of the coin also has an inscription that says one of one and what I think also says in god we trust. This cent appearance is different from every 1978 d cent I compared it to over the years. This cent have a beautiful black toning with a sparkling which make me think it’s a hybrid metal or wrong planchet. weight 3.1 grams

Very creative. But it sounds like you are copying a lot of terms from the Internet, and misapplying half of them. Unfortunately even if true they don't add appreciable value to circulated coins. But you have a great description going, you could start an eBay business with this pitch!
