coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 3:28 pm Sorry. It is just Machine Doubling. The difference? Note the size width/height of the devices on your coin? They are normal sized. On the DDO the devices are enlarged even larger. http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...1DDDO001.htm Note the devices on TRUST on the example from Variety Vista. (Only one DDO listed from that year/mint. Same die number on coppercoins: https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=mds Wexler's site also only has one listing, but it maybe a different die than the other two? http://www.doubleddie.com/661955.html But study these to see what you should be seeing on a doubled die. The spread on the centers of the devices. You are looking at the outside of the devices. That is where you will find Machine Doubling and on the devices that face the rim, they will show die wear in that direction. Only a doubled die can strike a doubled die coin. Machine Doubling is not the same thing. it is common and can vary from strike to strike. (Or even be normal) A striking issue, not a doubled die issue. Report this Post to the Staff

Ethan1122 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 6:58 pm I am aware of what Machine Doubling is, there is no shelf like doubling visible. I matched this coin to the one on Wexlers DDO List, for instance look at the thickness of the N in of IN. I don't understand why they matchup , but everything is Machine Doubling. It is very frustrating when it matches the DDO List. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98107 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 7:45 pm There is (as stated) lots of glare, try not having the light directly overhead, but instead slightly from the side. I'm just seeing Machine Doubling here though. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
