That's a lot of DDOs!  The 55-D DDOs I see listed have doubling in the eye--is that where you're seeing it? Edited by KurtS

Should be this one. I didn't see the strong doubled eyelid on your coin. It may be the scan? http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=ldsYou may want to check the markers to see if any match. If they don't it maybe because yours is an earlier die state. (I'm not saying it is) Just that markers come and go if they are compared to die scratches or marks in the fields. A die crack/chip/break only progress to be worse with the coins made after your coin. But check the eyelid again. That is just part of the variety that I can't see from the scan. The images AMAC posted are from RPMs. Not the same as a doubled die. Both are varieties, just not the same variety. Edited by coop

Sounds good then. The image just doesn't do the doubled eye justice.

Let me point out something. Based upon the pictures, The coin shown does not appear to match up at all to the one in the CherryPickers' Guide and therefore may not be related to that one. Here is where diagnostics on the internet come into play and can be very tricky. This is a perfect opportunity to explain why so many coins are mis-identified. Look at the picture in the CPG, the numeral 1 has doubling to the left. Without better pictures, I can't tell you what it is but I can indicate to you you what it might not be. When using Coppercoins site, the CherryPickers' Guide or any other source. Everything must be an exact match. It can't look like it or be close. Now look at the picture of the coin in the thread, the numeral 1 appears to have something going down the middle of the 1. Two completely different dies are probably involved. The coin shown is likely not the same coin as the one in the CPG. So from the standpoint of identifying a coin on the internet, it is better to wait until better pictures are posted before giving false hope to someone. This coin may or may not be a DDO, going by these pictures it is unfair to say one way or the other. Edited by foundinrolls

Also, this is for toniblab, Most dealers know very little about doubled dies, I am sorry to say. Some of the best dealers will look at a real doubled die and pronounce it Machine Doubling. Some of the best dealers will look at a machine doubled coin and pronounce it a doubled die. They are some of the most misidentified coins out there. You need to have an expert that specifically understands doubled dies to look at the coins. In my experience, 75% of dealers get it wrong one way or the other. Thanks, Bill |

my problem is the scanner I have don't do 2400 res. it only does 1200.and yes by my loupe it is the double die.the 1 has all the doubles by cpg . the 9 and the eye is double by what the cpg says.the one showen in books and by what you show as what it looks like as ms 63 or better.the ones I found are f/vf and one vf/xf this coin.the lower the grade the less you see.
