John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/01/2016 09:06 am The line above the 7 looks like the DDO on CC's site my coin is not on their site. Notice above LIBERTY and on the front and back of Lincolns' jacket. All input welcome. Thanks,John1 Edited by John1 07/01/2016 09:07 am Report this Post to the Staff

Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 07/01/2016 11:16 am I think it is a doubled die.Definetely not MD . You could shoot John Wexler an email and see his thoughts. Edited by Dustin6 07/01/2016 11:17 am Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 07/01/2016 12:12 pm Not your typical MD. Thinking more like the die bounced or stuttered maybe. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 07/01/2016 4:11 pm Sorry, looks like MD to me. The one on CC is short and not all over the coin like yours. Edited by CoinMasters 07/01/2016 4:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
grnwavdav Valued Member United States 139 Posts	Posted 07/01/2016 10:54 pm This die has actually been studied quite a bit. Here is a link to John Wexler's thoughts on the die: http://doubleddie.com/144864.html I agree with Wexler's conclusion, I believe the anomalies are to be the result of die abrasion doubling and not hub doubling. But it's still a cool study coin and worth keeping. Edited by grnwavdav 07/01/2016 10:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 07/02/2016 08:00 am John - I think a couple things going on here, but I do think it is DDO. I found one similar a few months back that coop helped to vet, and it was DDO. Mine didn't have the artifact above LIBERTY though but did have action around the 9 and 7. When I get the chance, I will look better at LIBERTY on my specimen. Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 07/02/2016 4:32 pm I browsed the link and took a look at the Cherrypicker's guide. Seems as noted here that most folks are leaning towards die fatigue and other 'abberations'. My cent is different, but more similar to listings at Wexler's site. Eitherway, Cherrypicker's notes that this coin, due to its 'character' is still collectable. AU specimens are still worth by their listing at $13. Fun find either way! Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 07/02/2016 8:37 pm Interesting article. I think John1's example is in better condition than the one published. That shows its not a one time event. If the experts once listed it DDO, and then some recant may mean it could be thought as DDO by some still and or relisted in the future by the others. Abrading the die (though not impossible) in such a pronounced, but two different ways (liberty and the date) leaves me with more future thinking on this one. Thanks, Doug.
