Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74279 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 10:09 am The pictures are unfortunately to far away from the coin. In order to tell if it's a Doubled Die or not, we'll need very close up pictures of the coin obverse and reverse. Try getting them as much close up as you possibly can. Errers and Varietys.

ak0017 Valued Member Lebanon 61 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 10:10 am Should I scan it? And at what dpi is best? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 10:11 am Can't tell anything from the small pictures. Please crop and rotate as per CCF Insructions https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...g-images.asp Correction in terminology- Its called a "Doubled Die", not double dye. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74279 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 11:29 am The darkish color is caused by toning, from a chemical reaction. When coins circulate, they can tone over time by environmental damage or other things. As to it being a Doubled Die, it's not. It's a normal Lincoln Memorial cent. Errers and Varietys.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 2:04 pm Also when you scan a coin, try setting the scanner at the widest image size. Also try placing dark material over the coin. The white on the top of the scanner, is making the coin to light in color. Place coin on glass and put the material over the coin. (Also check to make sure there is no dust on the scanner) Edited by coop 12/14/2018 2:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
