Hey all,

This 2019 cent has a solid finish on the obverse with zero zinc rot almost proof looking and reverse has alot going on I believe. When putting under the scope it first appeared to be a match for WDDO-008-WDDR-001. It has a die chip on the upper Y in LIBERTY, mild doubling on the lower initials a crack on the shield above EPU but it appears to have more going on with it. I think there is more going on with this coin though. On the obverse there appears to be 3 die scratches traveling E/NE one below, one above and the last through LIBERTY. There appears to be die mark above the E in LIBERTY. There appears to be die contact on Lincolns lower beard, a chip just below his chin. A gouge on his cheek, to the east of his ear. It also looks like Lincolns ear is doubled at the top towards the forehead. There are scratches right in front of his eye traveling east. There is die marks next the right upper I and N and doubling throughout IGWT. There is a die crack which enters above the first T in TRUST traveling SE through the T,R and U changing the direction of the doubling in TRUST. There is a crack coming out of Lincolns neck, chin and bowtie which travel downward and across into the date causing doubling. A die mark to the left of the upper 2, a chip between the 2 and 0, as well a chip inside under the 0 and notches on the 1 and 9 of the date. There appears to be noticeable doubling within USA, EPU and ONE CENT. There are die chips to the to the right of the M of EPU, throughout the border below EPU, two chips above the O and N in ONE and just above below the ONE CENT ribbon. Also a chip SE the T in CENT under the ribbon. Lasting a crack in the lower shield. There appears to be something going on under this original design. Is this an unlisted DD variety? The appearance of different finishes on each side is very interesting to me. If not a DD what do you think is going on with this cent?

Are you using a scope on your micro images? It o, when you focus on the devices, focus on the fields under the devices. If you focus on the tops of the devices the images will be out of focus, like these images you posted.

Seems odd you compared this coin with this statement:

Big difference for a circulated coin to be compared with a proof coin?

But try making side by sides with the same width/height to compare with a normal coin and your coin. That will show what is really going on.

Then you can see what is really going on with your coins. Ho to do this? Crop both sets of images on the same devices. Make them crop with the two outer edges of the devices in opposite corners. Then size the images the same width and height. Then stack them over each other and then crop again to make both images the same size. Then you can see if they are normal, or if one is enlarged by being a doubled die. This helps on the presentation of images:

Seeing the normal sided devices compared with a normal set, will either show the same or enlarged/reduced. When you make images too larger, then the perspective will be altered as you have nothing to compare it to. Also having the devices level helps to compare with easier.

Gotcha, I didn't believe it was a proof coop. I was just referring to the finish which originally caught my eye when glancing at the obverse of this cent. I will try to be cautious moving forward. I will give the side by side comparison a shot though.

I tried to focus on the bottom of the devices when taking these images. I hope they are better focused all. Lincoln looks like cyclops. A new X Men member.
Thanks all,
