1968 P Lincoln Double Die

Well here's a try at some pics I tried to take of the pennies. I can't quite get the right angles and light at the same time so they are poor quality. Please bear with me. All of the word UNITED is shadowed or double stamped. The most notable letters to look at are the O and E ine the word ONE and C E N T in the word CENT there are shadows or brightness that obscure most of the doubling. I'll post as many of the clearer ones as possible.

I've been having huge problems with photography as well. I'm assuming this is a phone camera. Try white background like a piece of paper, and try resting the camera about 3 or 4 inches from the coin and taking the picture while it's anchored to something. A few stacked books works well.

i did a quick search on coppercoins and did not find any 1968 P DDR listed

I am seeing some Machine Doubling in that first close up picture. Flat and shelf-like is the key for Machine Doubling. Unfortunately, it's not a doubled die and has no added value. Keep looking though, there is good stuff still out there to be found!

For the record, you are not seeing things. That really is a doubled die (DD) you are seeing it's just that it is , as Dave42 says, Machine Doubling and not hub doubling. Machine Doubling is very common and brings no premium, hub doubling is what you want to find as it brings with it a premium. Keep looking, you' ll know one when you see it because it is not flat and shelf-like but increases the size of the letter(s) that are doubled. Good luck with the hunt, they are out there!

Well thank you all for your replies. I'm glad I came here. I also have 27 of these pennines that only have the doubling in the "O" of ONE CENT. I think I'll list them on ebay and see how they sell. But I'm keeping the 4 double dies I've found. Maybe since the 4 double die coins are all MS+ they will command a higher price for being semi key dates. I think one will actually grade MS66+. Absolutely gorgeous but too expensive to send in for certification. Have a great day all. Icer Bill, rpmes.com

rpmes: Dave42 and coop are correct: this is strike a.k.a. Machine Doubling. Dave42 wrote "Flat and shelf-like is the key for Machine Doubling" to which I add especially if you see it only on the letters and or the date --- this tends to be the most common Strike Doubling. I'm going to have to photograph that 25-S Lincoln in like AU that I bought. In the date you can see doubling on the north end of the "9" but I really think it's just Strike Doubling. I'd be happy to be wrong on this one but I don't see any doubling anywhere else for it to be anything but Strike Doubling.
