CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 09:49 am I checked coppercoins.com and did not see any DDO's listed for 1977, just one for 1977-d. That does not mean this is not one, it just means I am not sure where else to look for this. I also think I see Machine Doubling in some areas. While you pictures are good, I have problems with the close ups because of the glare. I might be the only one but that is why it is difficult for me to see a DDO if there was one there.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 10:54 pm Beck, I am not an expert in Lincoln's, but have been doing a LOT of searching/learning about DDOs and DDRs in Kennedy halves the last 6 months and, having identified/found several (including some of the more obscure ones), I feel like I have a decent grasp on what Machine Doubling (MD) looks like. I believe the clearest picture I can see your doubling in is the 2nd one of the "G" in "GOD." I do believe, from this pic, that your penny has MD and is not a true DDO. I hope an LMC expert chimes in here soon. Keep looking - it fun! How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 11:24 pm All the coins above appear to be normal 1977 cents. Keep in mind these dies were well over used during the late 60s to early 80s. Combine that with what Earle pointed out, lighting, and the answer is crystal clear: Normal cents. BTW Earle, there is no need to be a Lincoln expert. A doubled die is a doubled die. Machine Doubling is Machine Doubling. These varieties happen in all denominations. Your analysis is spot on.
