1992 And 1984 Lincoln Memorial Cent Doublings

I may be wrong but all of the examples of the double ear were actually placed further down the neck is this correct ( I mean actuall seperation from the first strike and the next strike of the ear. which has always confused me because I cant see that as possiable . These pictures I saw were in reputable dealers circulars or flyers and or articles.

Hang out there are many error collectors here including a "Lincoln Error' Author of a book who can surely shed some more light on this topic, it may take a day or two.

Thanks Rick for your input and the neat link> I have it bookmarked now.

Also I miss lable 1992 cent on the image itself. It is not a 1982 and is a 92. The thought of finding this website and eager to show must of sidelined my thoughts when I did that.

Hi Errorfinder,

Thank you for your input and site links too.

Judging from what I've come across just these past couple weeks must mean you've come across some pretty nice goodies. I'm only at about 15,000 that I've picked through. I did find a mechanically damages planchet of a 2005 Lincoln Cent yesterday, and a 3 clogged coins of more recent issues. Will be showing those later. Don't want to hog the forum.

Tonight I dropped down to a 25 watt soft white that resulted with this image. It clearly shows after a billion snaps the doubling behind the lobe as oppose to the the original image I posted. Hope this is more clear for you folks. Just remember my focus is more on the lobe.


I visited Ken Potter's website tonight looking into what he had for books. He has listed below one of his books " A Quick Reference to the Top Lincoln Cent Die Varieties " some nice pictures of a 1984 Double Obv.. But what I find most peculiar about one of those images is the tie; a dot, air bubble or doubling in the same exact location as the one seen on mine. On his the lump looks larger but still in the same location.

I might have to agree with guys now, and I can tell you why. After posting this last picture, I went back to it in my folder. I see a crack in the coin which might thrown the stampimg off. This can be seen starting at the ear lobe, going down through the cheekbone and down through the coat. Never saw that before. What do I do? Put it back in circulation?

hey , hey hey . awake again or least more so than last post.first thank-you, out to metalman , I admit that the deterioration applies to the ear lobe; and not the "TY" letters. sorry 'bout that, should have could have ,would have ...been more specific.jim n wmass seeing your new pic and reviewing your first two (pics); i' think i'am seeing doubling on both ear lobes. saying this to mention; compare , compare ,look at other 1984 cents for the 'extra' earlobe 'bulge'.even 1992's and other dates. well the bow tie dot is interesting ,as you pointed out the same location of the "correct DDO doubled die obverse. yet another mistake on part was the corner of the die variety search on coppercoins.web site. I should have stated ' it is located on the upper left hand side of the home page'. pobodys nerfect :-).82-84 are 'full of gas bubbles thats why I leaned in that direction.as far as keeping it "i would" first it has a obverse die crack 'scarcer than reverse die cracks in my experience so-far.secondly 'cause till I was 'sure what it is; i'd file it, in the "later" box , till I learned more; essentially .the 84's mechanical or Machine Doubling is based on not only the "flatness" of the doubled devices,but also on the 'width' of the doubling; as, being as wide as the DLBling is; one would except to see it, continued into " ER" as well. kinda hard for me to word clearly...you will be seeing more of the "ghosting" ie. coppper clad slightly lifting; close to devices, as you go through more coins.man I remember my first 1969 S MDD ,, well I thought I was 'rich' to say the least. live N learn : no added 'premium '. value as: stated on reverse of coin "ONE CENT".your 1992 very late MDD , no added value =one cent.the 1992 should be checked for a reverse a close 'AM' wide 'A M 'is what they are supposed to be; in/of AMERICA : super rare; yet they are out there , yes from philly the first ones were found comming from denver's mint. * note * 1997 has some "ear lobe " DDO's too. (Doubled Die Obverse)lastly 1998-2000 contain TYPE II (proof)reveres as well ['wide "A M "]

the 92 should be checked for a Close AM the Wide AM applies after 1993 to date.

all of the Lincolns had a Wide AM up until 1993 when the reverse was changed and the AM was made slightly closer together practically touching,, the proof coins up until 1992 had the Close AM reverse,,in 1993 basically what they did was reverse the reverse dies,, proof reverses became Business reverses and business reverse became proof reverses.

some of the Business strike cents of 1992 were accidently struck using the proof reverse dies( Close AM pre 1993) and then again in 1998 some of the business strike cents were accidently struck using a proof reverse ( Wide AM post 1993) the Wide AM cents this accident ? happened a few time between 1998 and 2000.

Hope this helps ,, your coin is a normal reverse for 1992. afraid you cant retire.

Rick

first thankyou Metalman, I'm human what else is there to say, oh yeah Sorry for the mistake jim in wmass.I've edited my posts . thanks again metalman.fingers slower than :thoughts . "the faster I go , the farther behind I get".jim the coppercoins.com search feature ' the fields for search only need a date: example the first blank field enter in____1992 hit enter on your key board ..and it will show all results for that date..the second field you could enter in 1993 for exaple (after first feild has 1992)and the results would = 1992-1993 the other feild are labled and would narrow down the results for the date (or dates)you've enered such as ;mint(mark)RPM.Doubled dies ect. hopes this helps.the site has thousands of pictures, thus the searches need to be specific.. .note upper Left hand corner for the die variety search "(just type in a date or range of dates to see many pics with descriptions ect.*) .note upper Left hand corner for the die variety search.
