So I was coin roll hunting last night and came across this 1993D and it looks like it might have an extra column or two. Problem is that I know they exist for this year but my coin doesn't match the book (Strike it Rich 4th). So if it is a DDR what number is it? I have a 1994 DDR I found and had graded and the 1993D while not as defined sure looks similar. Need some help on this one, thanks! If you know, could you point me to a reference please. Coin in question...  My 1994 DDR FS-801 Die 1 (ANACS MS63RB)  |

It also looks like your coin is an earlier die state than the one on coppercoins. Note how the doubling has more detail.

Thank you all for your help and comments. To be honest I almost didn't catch this one. I kinda glanced at it and threw it into the pile to send to the bank but something just didn't seem right, so I decided to take another look. Without the help it probably was headed back into circulation.

I have been looking at memorial reverses for quite some time and can't figure out how to tell hub doubling from, well, other stuff that happens to coins. All photos in this post are the same coin, a 1993-D, for comparison with OP coin and the 1DR-002 noted above. This is would seem to be Die Deterioration Doubling on the D  And on the reverse the same kind of stuff can be seen all over the place:    Slightly along the left side of columns 2 and 3  But here is the question photo... This pretty much has to be the same type of doubling as all the rest, but it looks just like what is shown as a DDR on the websites.  This coin has the oxidation to show the whole problem area, while other coins just have the outer ridge visible. It conforms to the shape of the device and gets stronger toward the rim. Just look at the second photo on Coppercoins (a marker photo) and you will see the same thing with the T as is on the columns. How is this different? http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=edsI seriously have no idea how to tell a doubled column from other things that look like doubled columns. Maybe someone out there could post some way to tell all this stuff apart? |

I can help you with part of that brother. Someone sent me this a while back and it really helped visually answer some of my questions. As far as the zinc lincolns go sometimes the copper plating pulls away from the letters, numbers, design, etc. and gives the illusion of something being doubled when it really isn't.  |
