Even though I can't capture everything in one shot, I tried...sorry. Lincoln has doubling I believe and there is quite a bit of notching to go around on the Reverse. Could be wrong of course.

The notch o S bottom is just die deteropioration effects. Give your eyes a break! Report this Post to the Staff

If you look at the 82 DDR it seems to have that stretching look towards the rim as well. One of the many reasons Zinc Lincoln's bring me to the edge of insanity...but then I remember that cents also buy Tylenol Report this Post to the Staff

Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 10/03/2017 04:56 am John I was just waiting to see one of my pics on there, as I was scrolling through the wall of false double die shame lol! Nice link though! Ill have to step back and revisit the coin in a few. To me, the characters look crisp instead of chewed up bubble gum clinging to numbers, letters, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/03/2017 06:58 am I recommend reading all of the examples in that link from top to bottom. Read it more than once if you need to. It will save you a lot of time in the future. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
