For the new ones. Why is this a
DDO? Because the devices are enlarged and matches the listing of the hub doubling seen on this listed die. seeing devices side by side, helps show you what enlarging of devices are:
Note the normal device sizes and the
DDO doubled die devices sizes? This is what to look for on this variety. When you discover this, then you look it up on the sites of attributed dies:
http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20...3PDDO001.htmFirst thing to look at is the 'Description box':

Description: Extra thickness on date, LIBERTY, and IN GOD WE TRUST.
Only the devices listed on this box will be a doubled die. All the other devices are mostly normal. But the other devices are included in case of matching markers that could be seen if the coin is in the same die stage.
Match the devices and make sure they are the same, then you know you have a match. Then you know that is that die number. If the devices are not a match, it is not that die number. On this example, there was only one listed on this site. So you might have more sources to get more information:
Coppercoins:
http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mdsNote on this example the devices have some circulation flattening that alters the same a little, but the devices should also be consistent, enlarged on the same devices that match/not match your coin. Again this site only had one die to match up to.
Wexler Listings:
http://doubleddie.com/2402000.htmlThis site show two different doubled dies. So you need to match to see which die it is. Find the one and mark the coin. But if you find that there is no match, you might ask questions about your coin. It maybe not a doubled die. If might be something else going on with the coin. Or it maybe a new listings. Ask the question here on the site and you will get direction as to what it is or is not.
