tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 12:21 am The DDO-001 on 1954-S is a very mild bit of doubling, and may not even be visible in the photos (maybe the extra thickness on the 4 of the date). But it is quite easy to know when you have one as there are usually lathe lines visible to some extent around IN GOD. You see those, you have the DDO. But just found this one and wow, not sure I've ever seen lathe lines this strong on a Wheat cent before. 1954-S Lincoln Wheat cent doubled die - DDO-001 Stage A - strong lathe lines Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 03:47 am Nice,very nice. For whatever reason I like coins with the lathe lines still on them. Having trouble seeing the doubling though. The 4 does look a little bloated? John1 Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 01/26/2023 5:03 pm Thanks folks! It's just quite the strong bit going on with this one. So Dearborn the DDO reference with VarietyVista is DDO-001 Stage A EDS. I'd say VEDS, but that's me. It's honestly visible under a loupe on parts of the motto, but pretty close to needing a scope to see it well as it is pretty thin and light. But in the full coin image you actually can see a light vertical separation line on the 4 of the date which is why it looks so chubby. Report this Post to the Staff
