RedMP1972 Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 07/08/2021 11:55 pm Need some help identifying the errors on the obverse of this coin. There is doubling along the bust from Lincoln's tie down to the date. At first I thought this coin had Machine Doubling, however once I observed the coin from the profile there is a spread and it is obvious. Unfortunately the photos don't give the spread it's true appearance. Is there a chance this is a DDO? Or is the indeed a case of Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19164 Posts	Posted 07/09/2021 07:25 am I'm in for Machine Doubling. The '68 S Lincolns are known for having some rather strong examples of MD in the date--not all '68 S coins of course, just somewhat higher incidence across the population.
