holiday1326 New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 06/19/2019 9:44 pm I looked for about an hour and that's why I decided to post this here.. A couple sites said it should have a spot on reverse under memorial on left..So it's common not an error? Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 06/19/2019 10:20 pm It is DDO-001, WWHO-001, and 1DO-002. http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...8SDDO001.htm http://www.doubleddie.com/814681.html http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=mds CONECA (VarietyVista) and CopperCoins believe it is a doubled die while Wexler believes this is a doubled working hub. I lean towards it being a doubled die. I have looked at hundreds of 1968 cents from all mints, only found one with this type of doubling. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74279 Posts	Posted 06/19/2019 11:52 pm Nice Doubled Die! Definitely not Machine Doubling, as the devices are increased in size, not reduced. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/20/2019 12:22 am I feel John Wexler has it right. I asked him years ago about that issue and I felt it was not a legit doubled die. They were common to find with different mint mark locations. When this happens a lot, then you know it is Working hub issue. Report this Post to the Staff

The dies were made in Philly then and it was probably a doubled working hub issue. Report this Post to the Staff
