While CRH if found two LSC 2015 with funny looking reverse (E; Pluribus Unum). I think both coins are doubled die based on one of Mr COOPs previous threads on identifying DDR on Lincoln shield cents. The lettering looks thinner and distorted compared to the normal coin. DDR A is the strongest of the two showing DDR. I would greatly appreciate help in confirming or refuting my finds. All help is greatly appreciated.      |

I remember the thread by Coop, devices on yours do not match DD's and as John mentioned they look more like MD.

DDR A - Likely Yes DDR B - Maybe Can you get closer pics of the initials LB and JFM below the shield? All but one shield cent DDR have doubling or extra thickness on those letters.

Both look like a DDRs to me. If it were MD, the devices would be enlarged on the incuse EPU devices. I'm not seeing that on these incuse DDR devices on A nd B. (my guess the 'A' is a 2013 DDR) But on both examples, the raised devices should also be raised as well. Here is an example on a DDR for 2013 that show side by sides:      So check these areas to see if hub doubling is present on your coins. |

Tanman2001 and coop thank you for the helpful information and suggestions. I plan on taking ad posting additional pictures of the devices you suggested. I should have posted pics of the obverse. These are 2015 LWC. |

The "A" ones look like a DDR but not the "B" ones. John1 |

I would send the images to John Wexler and see if he would be interested in it? His email address is on the home page at the bottom: http://doubleddie.com/1801.html |

I thank everyone who took the time to look at this post and responded with particular thanks to Coop and Tanman2001. On Coop's advise I sent the photos to Mr. Wexler and will up date this post with his response.

You got lucky. Both of them are DDR's. DDR A is the bigger DDR while DDR B is a minor one. I'll be excited for the update. Errers and Varietys.
