JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 12/08/2019 10:43 pm I was just curious if anyone knew if this would be a sign for other things I could be missing, apparently die scratches and doubled dies go hand in hand but I don't really see any doubling anywhere, as you can see there is a big amount of die scratches covering Lincolns eye, ear, hair and in front of his face and top of his head. It is all over the obverse and reverse in some of the columns as well, I've never see this many die scratches before so I thought I would show you guys and see what you's may think.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/09/2019 02:06 am I agree that those are due to die polishing. I am not aware of a direct connection between DDs and die scratches, though.

JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 12/09/2019 10:34 am I could totally be mistaken regarding the die scratches and doubling having any sort of a connection, I have just noticed a lot of coins that have doubling usually have die scratches as well being used as markers of some sorts so thats why I had said that. But I will post pics of the full obverse and reverse here shortly Finding and discovering modern Canadian doubled die varieties since 2018. 2023 Recent Publications: Modern Canadian Doubled Die Varieties - First Edition PDF & Paperback https://www.mcddv.ca (website currently down for maintenance as of 08/01/2024) Report this Post to the Staff
Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 12/09/2019 11:02 am I think the idea comes from the way varieties are often confirmed by looking for "indicators" such as die scratches. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/09/2019 12:44 pm With them being in the center of the coin, the metal flow would follow these enhancing them even more and showing up as die flow. (Pattern of least resistance) Enlarging them as they continue to strike more coins. Report this Post to the Staff
