I gotta be honest the Double Die thing isn't that easy to tell the difference between that and the Mechanical Doubling. ( I bet you guys see a lot of that ) I got this one and a few others to bug you coin smarties about if thats kewl. Thanks for letting me join! Report this Post to the Staff

Your first pic, I dont see any doubling and the 2nd pic, I have no clue what its a picture of. I would start here: http://goccf.com/t/5450 Then come back and edit the post Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 2:08 pm Machine Doubling affects the outside edge of a coin. So yours is not Machine Doubling. Depending on the tops of the devices, if they have contact on the tops, then you will see a flat spot on the devices. But if the devices are enlarged in the centers, then it might be a doubled die. We need more images to see what you have. Here are a few attributed doubled dies images from coppercoins: 1983P-1DO-001 http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds First thing to look for on a doubled die listings, is what devices are affected: Note on the line blow the listing: Quote: A nice CW spread pivoted from K-5 shows nicely in LIBERTY and IN GOD WE. A lighter spread is visible in TRUST and the date. Old FS#035 (added by coop, these are the white letters on the listing) That tells us what is hub doubled on this die. Note that the Date is not listed as hub doubling. But other devices are. So in order for your coin to match this listing, the hub doubling will have to match the other devices first. If not a match, it might be a different die listing. So you need to check other listings. Edited by coop 01/29/2021 2:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I have a celetron microscope and it only pans out so far. but I can take more full pictures then the ones in these pictures. I am just curious because it kinda looks similar to a picture from coppercoins.com . and no there is no mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
