tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 11:35 pm Continuing making progress through the circulated wheat bags. Found this one last night. I started a new 5000 coin bag and didn't know what would be in there, and hadn't found anything in about 250 coins. Was starting to think it was searched, but then this popped out. Looking forward to continuing deeper and seeing what else is in there. 1947 Lincoln Wheat cent doubled die - DDO-001, FS-101 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/04/2021 1:04 pm Even though it is circulated, it will help others to see better what does a circulated example looks like. These are teaching aids to help new ones spot what to look for when searching coins. BU example: Viewing the BU examples show the full DDO, but the circulation alters the spread lines on the tops of the devices. So with two examples, you can see what could be there, or how to identify it without the spread lines on the tops of the devices. The more you are aware of, the eyes will learn to look in those areas. If not there, move on to the next coins. (don;t look at the outside edges of the devices as that is where Machine Doubling lives. *Note again on image #3 of TB's images, note that the spread is not on the outside of the devices. But between the spreads of the devices.* Edited by coop 11/04/2021 1:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 11/04/2021 11:31 pm Thanks for all the great comments! One thing here that I thought maybe interesting, is to maybe look at EPU for thickness (it's normal) and then at IGWT (it's quite thick). Some DDO's are tough to see the spread on circulated coins, but the thickness is obvious when you see it. Report this Post to the Staff
