I went and had a coin store look at it under their micro scope to verify it was actually a double die before I posted anything and got too excited and it absolutely is :) funny story though I stopped at the gas station this morning to get my usual before work, the female clerk while ringing me up asked "Is that all for you today"? I thought forba quick second and asked if she happened to have any extra rolls of coins I could perhaps buy off of her and that I collect coins. Her initial response was the norm for someone who does not already know me because disbelief was written all over her face then she replied "Um I can't do that." "Ok" I said and she took my money gave me my change and along with it my Very first doubled die :) although not anywhere near flawless I'm completely extatic just of the fact that I found what thought would be impossible. Looking forward to my next already but will definitely enjoy this one in the meantime. Thanks for reading I tend to ramble on when I'm excited haha  |

From this pic I see no doubled die. What are you seeing as doubled? Can you post close-up pics of the doubling? John1  |

Need some closer ups of the date and liberty.
If a go, then a $100.00 or so coin as it does look AU grade.

Yes that Lincoln resource page I think it's called was where I compared the one I had found and the one on there website and it was exactly the same that's what made me go to my local coin store here in vegas and have them look at it.. If its not a true form of a doubled die then the website should update there info and the associate at the coin store should try working in a different field I would say expertise but if he's wrong as well then expert he is not.. I'm still a complete rookie at all of this and sorry if I wasted your guy's time Again. I got excited cause every detail photographed on the website is dang near exact on my penny. Here's a closer pic of it let me know if I need to zoom even more its tough on my phone  |

This prob doesn't help much either but I cant zoom with my phone anymore without it completely blurring it out. My wife has a nice digital camera at home ill take a better one tonight and use her computer so I can also post pics of the reverse side at the same time |

I am not sure how they take their pics. I use a usb microscope when I take close-up pics. I also use a point and shoot set to macro with no flash. John1 |

Oh very cool thank you ill have to look into getting new things to make it easier to provide better quality photos.. What kind of lighting is best for viewing coins? Fluorescent, led, halogen I'm currently building a little work table to keep and sort through my coins if I leave my stuff out on the dinning room table any longer my wife might get rid of it all lol
