Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 11/05/2021 10:09 am . There is only one MAJOR variety doubled die obverse for the 1958 Lincoln Cent. You would definitely know it if you had it. I think there may also be a very minor doubled die obverse for this year but it's too hard to tell from your picture. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34416 Posts	Posted 11/05/2021 10:56 am Ok yes thx ahead of time @tnt for posting an unobstructed closeup of this area. From this overall image shot through the 2x2, I'm not seeing any doubling.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/05/2021 11:34 am If it is on the outside edge of the design and flatten, that would be Machine Doubling. Keep in mind that the spread of the devices on the big DDO is huge: Note the motto and Liberty for the spread on the devices. Your coin looks normal on these areas. Not a DDO.
