I recently went through my tub of about 500 1917-P Lincoln cents in search of any doubled dies that I might have missed. I found several coins that looked potentially promising. Please see attached photos.

Older coins can be very deceptive, I agree with worn and flattening.

No. Not any resemblance of the real deal.

Those look like 3 sets of photos of the same coin.

Did you use different file names for each photo?

you posted the same 3 images, 3 times

Did you use the same file name for each coin? - I seems like it to me that looking at the file names you repeated them for each coin.

Yes, he did. Each coin image needs a unique name, otherwise they get overwritten with the next upload!

Oh my!

I had photos with the same name in four separate folders ... one folder for each coin that was a possible DDO.

I had no idea the files would be overwritten like that.

Please accept my apologies for the confusion.

Am posting other photos.
