CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 09/25/2021 6:02 pm Picked this up off ebay thinking it was (class 2) DDR-2 -- Nope. It is (class 2) 1DR-3, which I didn't have a copy of either: Now I do. http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=mds http://www.varietyvista.com/01a%20L...8PDDR002.htm Sellers pics.

Consider adding to this thread one or two close-ups of the doubling.

CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 09/25/2021 7:37 pm Here you go. Tough getting convincing pics of the doubling because of the die state and my scopes LED lighting. It seems to show up the best on the E so not sure why the plate coin pics don't include it. Bob did a good job with his pics. Also included a couple of markers.

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 12:38 am Those are great close-up pics @cent. As I understand it, sometimes ovalling of the dots is the most pronounced indicator of doubling.

CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 01:46 am Yes, I believe most will say the first thing that catches their eye would be the 'smeared' look of the first dot. And that is what I saw in the seller's pic [first pic], though it seemed more 'oval' than it turned out to be. I also compare the thickness of the horizontals vis-a-vis the verticals. Mostly on the L and U, but my pic shows it on the B and U [white lines]. For great close-ups, you have to try Ray Parkhurst's site: http://www.macrocoins.com/image-gallery.html Edited by CentSation 09/26/2021 01:56 am Report this Post to the Staff
