1917 1c DDO Counterfeit

Holy cats that's bad. They have the doubling going both ways, just like the 55.

I should have posted the reverse also. It's a bit sketchy around the rim.

yep the liberty is going clockwise, and IGWT is CCW..

FF - Yes, yours is fake, too.

Looks like it may be the same coin, or at least from the same dies. Notice how a lot of the nicks, scratches and staining all match up on the ebay coin and on the coin you just posted.

Makes me think —— hummmm?

I have a few poor condition 1917 double dies they have no eye appeal like your copy does if it is a copy! Here's an image of a 1936 DDO from online. and I will try to follow up with a photo of a 1936 I have from coin roll hunting I cant see doubling in image but under light and look I see Mechanical Doubling or not genuine doubling on my coin but first is the one from online.1917 and 1936 Lincoln Doubled Die cents

1936 Lincoln doubled die
The 1917 Lincoln Doubled Die cents and 1936 Lincoln, Doubled Die cents listed in standard price guides (other doubled die varieties exist for the two dates but are listed only in speciality references) exhibit lesser degrees of doubling than the more famous 1955, 1969-S and 1972 Lincoln, Doubled Die cents, yet they are well worth collector attention.

In my oppinion your 1917 DDO is just more bodatious and cool then my poor excuse for a 1936 but it is the best 1936 that I have so far and not a real DDO like the first online picture of the 1936 DDO but I'm still looking for one. Wish me Luck and Happy coin roll hunting nice find on that 1917 DDO.

My mistake its 1927-d that has a few Mechanical Doubling problem coins extra material above 192 not 1917 my bad but who cares right their only one one hundredth of a cent value
