BmoreCoin4Cash New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 7:29 pm I have some questions about this 86D Lincoln. This year isn't typically associated with errors but I see doubling in the word liberty. Most likely it's a double strike(?). I think that's what it's called but IMO, this looks more pronounced than what I'm use to seeing. Please help, thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

RoyCoinBoy Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 7:31 pm Considering that this is a zincoln (all pennys made after 1982 are 97.5% zinc) I would have to assume this is either plating bubbles or DDD ( Die Deterioration Doubling) Report this Post to the Staff
BmoreCoin4Cash New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 7:38 pm So with bubbling or DDD it would have a clear image of a single letter twice? Zincs aren't able to do a legit double die? The B is the most predominately doubled letter. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 8:37 pm Note how the devices are reduced. Looks like Machine damage to be. A slight push to the right on LIBERTY. Report this Post to the Staff
Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 9:48 pm Zincolns are able to be true doubled dies as well. I think the most well known one is the 1995 DDO: http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/3127 I'm still looking for one of these. On your coin, I'd be inclined to guess plating issue since only three letters of LIBERTY have the issue, and they're in the middle of the word. Report this Post to the Staff
