Not sure if no one was looking or if the price of these has fallen. I got this one, fully labeled as WDDO-011 with good pics, for five bucks including shipping. I very much like the look of this die, and this coin is a nice early die stage (note the sharp doubling on the 2 of the date. 2019 Lincoln Shield cent doubled die - DDO-001     |

Whoa, looks like a cobra "2". Cool DDO for sure. Maybe the prints on both sides affected price? |

That's a pretty darn nice one. I've noticed shield cent die varieties have kinda slumped lately which means you can get some pretty sweet deals.

Yeah, I picked up another 2014 FS-101 because just seems cheap compared to a couple years ago. And those are not being found very often so hopefully the pure rarity of them will keep the price from totally falling off.

That is another great "Chunky Monkey" variety that will hold it's own over time.
(That 2014 you picked up will hold it's own over time as well. I have yet to find either)
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Ok, I've collected over 40 years. Mostly older coins, so what's a "cobra " and don't say a snake . TY

The 2 looks like a cobra snake in strike pose. John1 |

@SensibleSal66, The "2" has an unusual shape due to the doubling which to me resembled a cobra "striking pose" like John1 said. It's not an official numismatic descriptor.

I agree, it looks remarkably like a cobra with head up and hood open.
