Yikes that is pretty subtle for my eyes. I'm interested to see what folks think about this.

They say you can not find a needle in a hay stack. I think you just did.

I understand, Spence. I started searching Lincolns in 2017, so we were well into the shields at that point. Because of that, I was seeing more shields than anything, where I bank roll search, so I gave in to the fact that that would be much of what I saw. I really do not like shields but it is what it is and learned what to look for. I have looked at so many, I can spot even the most minor doubled die. Most of the time, it's just distortion, not what you would see in a typical doubled die, the single squeeze doubled dies do not typically offer much more. All this being said, I found the best pic on the web of a normal 2023 P and put it with my pic, this may not help but maybe it will. The red arrows show the thickness and the yellow arrows show the thinness (the distortion). Hope this will help and yes, I know it's minor, even if you can see what I'm talking about.

 . I'm with you Jon. I did not and do not like the shields. At first I didn't even look at them, I just shoved them to the box. But I gave in because there were just so many in a box. IMO Most shield DDO / DDR are minor. Like those with the tops and/or between the verticals.

Yes that definitely helps @make. I can see the narrowing best on the top right part of the numbers.

Hey, at first I didn't even consider the lines-in-doors nickels. But I learned to like them. Usually the doubling is tiny, but sometimes you get big and bold separation. Also, you can usually score a couple every $20 or so. That's a lot more often than CPG-type varieties.

Nice find.  You might be able to get it listed on doubleddie.com, once they start taking attributions again.
Errers and Varietys.

Thanks everyone. As I said, I know it's minor but may send it in anyway. cc listed the DDR for me, so I may send it to them.

You definitely know your variety requirements for all denominations. Congrats on the find. (Personally, I'm glad you got into shields and graduated from those "nasty" Vams.  ) It is most definitely a DDO. It is a tossup whether it would get listed but because there are so few for the year, I think it will.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Yea super minor The best spot I can see the slight extra thickness and skinniness is that 2nd two the top curve. Even 2022 we haven't seen any crazy doubling yet. Hopefully 2023 is a better year.
