tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 07/28/2021 7:08 pm Always thought this one was pretty close to qualifying for the CherryPickers' Guide. The dots are almost completely separated with close to a full device width of spread. 1955 proof Lincoln Wheat cent doubled die - DDR-007 Report this Post to the Staff

Kcm Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 07/29/2021 1:53 pm Ignorant neophyte -- on quest to mitigate ignorance -- asks (does NOT challenge) all. How do you conclude that this proof coin is a doubled die (a concept I've mastered) and not a double strike -- as I am learning is indigenous to creating a proof coin?

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 07/29/2021 2:14 pm KCM this is a very obvious example of a DDR the lettering thicker than those on a normal coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 07/29/2021 4:28 pm @KCM I'm not terribly educated on the subject either, so others can correct me if I'm wrong. The Doubled Die refers to the Die itself being punched twice, with the two punches slightly askew. The Die then only strikes the coin once. Edit: Never mind, I think I misunderstood the question.

CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 07/29/2021 9:24 pm How do you conclude that this proof coin is a doubled die (a concept I've mastered) and not a double strike 1 - I believe the fact that there are many that are exactly alike, including the marker inside the N of CENT. 2 - Experts have determined it to be the die.
