Appears to match up but figured I should double check.. Any feedback, comments, or suggestions welcome... 1944D-1DO-005 Edited by OcalaFlorida 11/10/2015 7:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

(also rotated on your coin a bit) http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds The mark on the "W" on WE is part master die doubling during several years: The other marks on WE are die flow from a worn die. There was also master die doubling on the 44 as well that year: I'm afraid this is a normal coin with circulation flattening on the devices on the rest. Report this Post to the Staff
OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 11/11/2015 07:15 am thanks coop.. I didn't know of the master die doubling on this year. Do you know of a list of the years with master doubling these are the ones I wrote down so far 1972, 1944, 1961, 1989, 1918. Report this Post to the Staff

"D" on GOD and the LIBERTY: 1938 cents: 1940 cents: 1941 cents: 1960 small dates: 1937-S doubling on the 9 in the date. Although not classified as master hub doubling on DDO's, there are many class 6 doubled dies, that were too minor to list this year. So it seems something was affecting the hubbing of these dies this year. This a few off the top of my head right now. Probably several more I've missed. Report this Post to the Staff
