Alexandra New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 06/19/2016 12:03 am Hi there. I've been collecting OBW rolls of Lincoln cents for a few years & I've just recently began to examine the coins in them. I have a roll of these 1966's and of course, I'm looking to see if any errors exist. What I thought was a DDR on some of them, now just looks to be Machine Doubling, but I'm not seasoned enough to trust my opinion alone. If Machine Doubling is the case of the letter doubling, what of the errors found in the memorial? Can anyone give their opinion on this? Maybe explain a little what it is I'm looking at? Thanks soo much. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/19/2016 10:37 am If you are looking for varieties, then this might help: On the DDO for this year, note the 'U' in TRUST. That is a pickup point for this die. (PUP Pick-Up-Point, is what some look for a certain doubled die) But they maybe missing out on a die that hasn't been found yet. So I give all coins a clean slate and look to see if there is hub doubling or not. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexandra New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 06/19/2016 4:32 pm Thanxs Coop,Biedercoins, and John1! This is exactly the kind of mentoring and feedback I've needed since I began this trek in my life 3 yrs ago. I haven't known where in my learning to find folks like ya'll. I've been completely alone on all that I've learned (which is very,very little) & started with zero knowledge. Hope ya'll don't mind me bouncing alot of coins off here. My collection is at nearly 2,000 coins! And so out of control that I really need to gain some knowledge about what I'm trying to achieve here. Will start on the youtube info and all the information I've found right here in the community first though. Thanks a million! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/20/2016 10:52 am Here is what machine damage would look like on the date area: This happens after the strike and the dies move a bit and damage the devices. You have the same issue on the reverse. When the devices are damaged, they are reduced in height/width. Most of the time you can see where it was normal (at the base of the device) and altered at the upper part of the device. Here is an example These are not doubled dies. They are machine altered after the strike from a normal die. Report this Post to the Staff
