Baby_Lokz New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 12/22/2018 07:14 am Could this really be a true genuine Doubled Die? Would love to get a second or perhaps even a third opinion pretty please? Would appreciate all and any feedbacks given in return. Thank you all in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/22/2018 11:12 am Agree. Looks pretty normal to me. Maybe a bit of Machine Doubling? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/22/2018 2:57 pm But have seen the big doubled die? It looks nothing like that: Yours is a regular coin. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 12/22/2018 4:23 pm Looks like your coin has some Machine Doubling...not a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74662 Posts	Posted 12/22/2018 5:05 pm I don't see anything. You have a normal Lincoln Wheat cent. Since it's a Wheat cent, save it and put it with the others. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
RLS0812 Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 12/22/2018 5:23 pm "Ghosting" most likely. Caused by lighting. Does the doubled elements disappear if you view it from a different angle ? Example of a ghost: Edited by RLS0812 12/22/2018 5:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Could you post pics of (1) the lower right wheat stalk and stem and (2) the tip of the left wheat stalk and "E" and the "P" of PLURIBUS and the dot between them? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/23/2018 08:41 am If the light source is too low, it will make the edges of the devices to glare. That is what I'm seeing on your coin. Look at the tops of the coins devices for doubling, not the edges of the devices. If it is a doubled die, then there should be seen a spread of the devices, an enlargement. Looking at the edges of the devices are where you will find Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/23/2018 8:38 pm Where you see glare on the obverse motto area, is showing Machine Doubling. http://goccf.com/t/335702 Report this Post to the Staff
