kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 02/01/2024 12:56 am https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=mds I don't see any doubling on this cent in these pictures. Did you check the reference sites to compare? Edited by kurdlezuit 02/01/2024 12:57 am Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74629 Posts	Posted 02/01/2024 01:25 am Not seeing any doubling. But don't give up. It's going to take time to learn about the varieties and errors. We've all been there before. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1265 Posts	Posted 02/01/2024 01:37 am Darn nice looking cent. The glare can make all kinds of things appear when looking for errors on shiny coins. I agree with kurdlezuit and don't think it's a DDO. Keep looking.. Good luck and enjoy the hunt. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6548 Posts	Posted 02/01/2024 02:01 am I had that happen on a proof Kennedy half. The reflection of the devices made them look thickened. I had to get the proper light and camera angle to separate the letters from the mirror field. I have had the same problem with ebay pictures that made coins look like doubled dies, only to see them in hand and realize it was bright metal, angled surfaces, and camera confusion. One really good way to learn the coins themselves is to go to PCGS, view the image catalog for a variety, and zoom in (and out!) with their reference images for different varieties. The variety sites can be confusing with very well photographed features under magnification. PCGS TrueView will let you see a whole lot of coins under sub-optimal and more realistic lighting. It's much closer to what you will find in the field, because they are imaging the whole coin, not just the tiny features. Report this Post to the Staff
