First Lincoln's forehead has a large Die Chip above the eyes to the hairline. Second there is a problem with the IGWT running next to the rim. This complicates my DDO-002 call because it is hard to see the doubling on the motto. To top that off the date shows doubling which calls for a poor man's DDO. Also, the coin is worn and bright. So, give a fellow a hand here! Look at the pics and let me know your thoughts. Regards! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 99376 Posts	Posted 03/26/2022 9:22 pm I see MD and DD, maybe a Ridge Ring forming through IGWT, and a RIDB on Lincoln's head. Collecting since 1972.

I see no MD, agree there is much Die Deterioration along with lighting issues, which may be why you think you see MD, Ridge Ring is a term associated with zinc coins that are copper plated and you may be right about the RIDB but the circulation has made that tough to tell. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/28/2022 12:59 pm This is not DDD. DDD happens on the single strike dies. This is an example of an excessively worn die. The DDO-002, looks like this, but this was from normal die. On the DDO-002 there is spread on the devices: Your coin was one of the extreme worn dies that was seen a lot on the 1950's wheat cents. Not a DDO-002. Report this Post to the Staff
