I added some pics in the marker areas. I can't find a match for any of the listed die markers. The is a die chip at the top of E in WE. Also a small die chip in the far right tip of the cornice.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8726 Posts	Posted 02/01/2023 10:42 pm Thad, I could be wrong about this one but the majority of the 68's have been deemed to be Doubled Working Hubs. This one looks spot on for it. Got a few myself. LINK https://doubleddie.com/814660.html -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 02/01/2023 10:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 02/01/2023 10:50 pm Makecents makes sense. It is true that most of the dies shown on VV for that year are not doubled dies but from a doubled working hub, which is why they all look alike but have different die markers. They are pretty nice-looking though. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/02/2023 1:10 pm So many of these have different mintmark placements, but yet the working hub doubling is present on them. Some sites still list them, but they are not doubled die,they are doubled working hubs. When searching for these I noticed that a long time ago. Mentioned it to John Wexler and he agreed. http://www.doubleddie.com/814639.html Edited by coop 02/02/2023 1:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 02/03/2023 02:33 am Thad, take a look at 1do005 on http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.php I see the die scratch from the forehead to the U and the one above the date. Report this Post to the Staff

Don't forget lighting, it's just as important as the camera. This is my primary light. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...e=UTF8&psc=1 Lincoln Cent Lover!

gigi2110 Pillar of the Community United States 1770 Posts	Posted 02/03/2023 9:18 pm @BadThat can you send me a private message with a photo on how you do it please, because and using a light but can take as clear as yours, I really need to learn it, because I go through many coins and as I can't see anything I put every coin back to the roll and drop to the bank, and I think I could do better than just look for errors. I love the doubled dies, and is my wish to find a really nice one. And thank you for the link, and going to look at it. Note: apologies for my english, I know is not that good. gigi2110 Edited by gigi2110 02/03/2023 11:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

My setup is VERY simple. That cam, that light and white piece of copy paper. I take all my pictures free hand and use the 4X optical zoom, 3.2X is my usual setting - 4x for closer stuff. I use no post processing other than to crop and resize to ~1000x1000 pix and I'm done. There is no magic, just camera and lighting with a proper white balance calibration. Lincoln Cent Lover!
