The column is in the shadow, right below the bay kinda sticks up into it, does it have doubling as well or is it just those 3 bays? My phone sucks but it looks like there is separation on the second bay. That would point to yes for me but idk I could be wrong.

Are u talking about bay 8? Or u talking about how the doubling in 9 and 10 where the line seems to extend up into the building? Pics are not the best I guess-I can try get a better pic-the doubling,I see in bays 5,7,8,9,10 and 11 if it is doubling at all-but I couldn't get it in the pics will try again

The second one from right has the most separation from what I see it looks separate that's the one that makes me say yes it is doubling but someone may correct me.

Slamn - probably not but those are the bays to check on '90s DDRs. I don't know of a column double beyond 1998 but I haven't checked 2004 to verify. I think what you are seeing is a well placed scratch or gas lines (in bay 10 anyway). But perhaps an undocumented DDR? On the '90s specimens I have you can normally make out upper column details as well besides the straight portion. In hand, can you see these details? |

Yea rackster I haven't found any examples for 2004 either that's why I was doubtful also-don't thnk they are scratches(could be wrong) but gas lines are definitely possible-could u see that long of a line and in multiple bays? Probably right? And if your talkn about upper column details being doubled then no I do not see that at all...thanks

Hi Slamn - I posted a coin about a year back that had me baffled. It ended up being odd striations under the plating that looked like the details of the columns. I beat that coin up quite a bit. The gas lines/feeder finger lines? ran into the fields adjacent to the Memorial. So what looked like potential ended up being a dud. Here's a pic where you can see some of the upper column details. Normally you'll see the hockey stick angle at the top.  |

Rackter: Gas lines/ or feeder line is something completely new to me...thank you all for the information on this "new" topic for me! This is a great forum, where one can learn a lot depending on how much time you spend. By the way on your photo it appears the Lincoln is sitting down on the first column...nothing was mentioned about this....I love finding things like this, makes searching for errors fun and exciting. Thank you!  |

Note on the third image from the top: There are lines in the same direction above and below the bays/deigns in this area. Some below the base, some in the design of the cornice, even some below the base under the right base tip. Si I'm thinking these are die scratches from a polishing. It looks like they are fading in the field areas, yet are remain strong in the bays. So they are not from the hubbing process.
On the last image you can see the lines are in different directions. Another indicator of die scratches.

Poet - I am also enjoying the learning process. I continue to learn from the members here and from the experts (which is important). You'll identify the experts as you continue to participate. Coop was the one to help me get over the specimen I was sure was a doubled die but ended up being well place striations. Welcome to the mix here and I look forward to seeing some of the fun find you make while variety/error searching! It is a ton of fun!

Thanks all...and wow ok didn't think they looked like die scratches but I guess so...thought for sure you'd say gas lines-I do see what your talking about,thought I noticed the lines extend above the bays also in 9 and 10,probably hard to see in pics tho-

The third image showed what I needed to see. Thanks for including that image. Most of the time that area is cut off. So when sent off to be attributed, they will see those polishing lines and know what the cause was that affected the bays. A great learning aid. If you could take an image that shows the tops of the roof and the lower areas of the base (Or two images that shows each areas), I could make it into a great education image.
