becardw3 Valued Member United States 102 Posts	Posted 04/01/2018 10:43 pm I think it's a vise job or something with a hammer, but to me it looks like there is a Lincoln head facing left on the back. Can anyone else see the outlines? No damage that I can see to the front. Could it be Die Deterioration? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/02/2018 12:25 am I didn't finish it now, did I? LOL! It is poorly referenced asa doubled die where it really isn't one, altho the official term is " Die Deterioration Doubling, DDD", so go figure, huh? Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/02/2018 01:49 am A bit late, but, yeah, that is PIDT. It's a neat thing to look for that adds a little extra spice (but no value) to your coins. It's the next best thing after a clash.
