1944 Lincoln Wheat Cent Doubled Die - DDR-005

My goodness that's a severe DDR, and in UNC condition as well!

An absolutely gorgeous coin, great find!

That's a thick one, dang!

Nice to see DDR on uncirculated wheat cents.

Great find. I like DDR's I can see with my with my eyes and not under the microscope. And my eyes are getting old!

Very nice! Especially in BU.

Thanks folks!

And Pete, yes, you can see the die marker on the reverse. There is a fairly strong die scratch, almost a die gouge, heading roughly south from the bottom of the first S in STATES.

Yorkish, I am not ignoring your question about lighting and photos. Just have been asked that a lot and every time I tell myself I need to post something somewhere about how I shoot my images so I can link to it instead of write it all out over and over.

Short story is that for the full coin shots I use a real camera, a Canon S95 which is now cheap on ebay as but is a little powerhouse for taking quality images. No fancy lighting, but a flat post-it note as a background with an open bulb roughly six inches behind and 12 above the coin. Creates a nice angle for the light, and you can just spin the coin around on the post-it to adjust where you want the light coming from without adjusting the light. Key is the bulb, though. I am using SATCO 1490 Lumens 72W bulb.
