2007 Proof Lincoln Memorial Cent Doubling?

It is a 2007 proof Lincoln.Maybe these will help.

What you see on the left hand side of serifs is reflection, can't figure out a good technique for taking photo's of proofs, because of the reflectiveness of proofs.

Or it could be secondary lighting interfering. Before you take an image, see if by putting you hands cupped around the lower area of your coin. It there is any secondary lighting you will notice that you hand/hands will block it. If you are noticing this then try this. Put something in between the unwanted light and your scope. A piece of cardboard or even a sheet of facial taped to your scope to help filter out the brightness of the unwanted light. See if this helps.

I will attempt to take better pictures, when I can figure out a better way to photograph proofs, have tried the paper between the lighting source and item, still get reflection, trying some different things.

Actually you're welcome to disagree, but I have actually attributed thousands if not tens of thousands of die varieties on cents over the past 25 years, and am emailed a hundred images a week with similar questions. I have ten years experience looking at digital images and trying to assess what the coin is using such images, and know where to draw the line between attributing something to be a die variety using online images and needing to see the coin to make such determination. This case is the latter, for a number of reasons.

First, I own hundreds of class 6 doubled dies. This is undeniably NOT a class 6 doubled die. If it's anything, it's a class 4 or class 8.

Second, this is a proof coin, which is very difficult to photograph with any instrument.

Third, neither the instrument nor the lighting used in this case is of highest possible quality, which throws a certain amount of reflection, and odd shadowing onto the subject.

Fourth, this is a new issue, and unless you've personally studied hundreds of 2007 proof cents at this magnification, I would hardly qualify you to make die variety analysis judgement seeing three or four devices on one single coin of that issue.

Fifth, I am definitely disqualified from making such judgement.

Which is why I stated, and stand by the statement, that it is impossible to tell whether this is a doubled die from the images provided...because it is.

The only reason I entertain this as being possible as a doubled die is that what I can see appears to somewhat match (by shadows and light) the basic characteristics of similar doubled dies that have shown up on 2001-2007 business strike cents, giving light to the possibility that a proof example might exist, and that this might be one of those proof examples.

However...to date NO proof doubled die obverse cents showing in LIBERTY are known for any of this century's issues, and I am unwilling to determine that they do from a couple of understandably poorly lit photos on a message board. I can further tell you that none of the recognized author/attributers of Lincoln Cent die varieties would disagree with me.

Edited to add: And this post reveals all the things I went through in my mind BEFORE making my first post to this subject. It's not a simple matter of glancing at a photo and being too lazy to judge the subject or even a case of not wanting to help...the answer was simple, yet the thought put into the answer would require writing a book, which I didn't want to do, but have at this point.

I think at times more credit is due to those who have poured thousands upon thousands of hours into the subject and have seen hundreds of thousands of coins and have photographed tens of thousands of coins. I have a higher awareness for people like this because I know first hand what they've gone through to be doing what they are doing now.

Where our lines don't meet is that I am unwilling to give the possibility for false hope to someone who is just beginning at die varieties in saying "could be" just to have them fly off the cuff thinking I gave them affirmation of what they suspected. I have learned through the years to tell them that it cannot be determined through photos rather than to say they might have something. I have had more than one person angered after my telling them they might have something good and them using my "possible" as the go-ahead to spend $40+ to slab it and have it come back as Machine Doubling or without attribution at all. Then they end up with a 50 cent coin in a $30 holder and ill feelings toward a supposed 'expert' who told them they had something good. Believe me, it happens. I take the conservative route all the time. If affirmation cannot be given through photos I say so.

It still looks like a "could be" but not necessarily an "is". I would give it a 50% shot at this point...which is better than I would give 95% of the coins posted here.
