allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 11/05/2021 3:58 pm Ladies and Gentlemen, I have for your enjoyment a very bright 1963 P Lincoln Cent. The coin is difficult to properly display in Picts (took an hour experimenting with varying lighting schemes) and tough to identify by using Copper Coins. I apologize for the number of pictures. There are 21 levels of doubled dies listed for obverse and 20 listed for reverse! I looked at all of them and found some matches but not a complete match. To complicate matters both sides have ridge rings which cloud the identifiers. I am unsure about the reverse having any DDR and the obverse looks like Die Deterioration. Also the coin is worn as well. So I throw it open for discussion. Regards and have fun. Report this Post to the Staff

Which specific one(s) seems close? Or are you thinking since none appear to be a match that it is just MD?

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 11/05/2021 7:01 pm I don't see a doubled die on this cent. It might be the glare from the type of scope you are using that is making it look like it has split serifs.

Proof like maybe, but I don't think it is a proof coin, the fields are too, umm, rough - not mirror like. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

If you didn't find a match, we are unlikely to as well. If you think it is a match, please give us a reference number and/or a link to it. You have a nice coin, they're getting tougher to find in the wild. Report this Post to the Staff
