I am confused by your title Bent. Are you saying that you have found 30 of the coin you have posted or just different dates/mints, with similarities? That being said, there is one listing for 2018 D, on coppercoins. think what you have here is just a late die stage, with puffy looking initials, not a DDR. Let's see what others think. Here is the cc link. https://coppercoins.com/lincoln/die...ie_state=lds-makecents-

Use the link -makecents- posted. Since you have it in hand you can look at all the details there and make sure every picture matches to yours.
As to value, almost all the listings on these sites are not going to bring a premium. The doubling is just not obvious/large enough to make them eye appealing to most collectors. A lot of people have fun looking for them, but the fun is in the hunt and finding.

I agree that the title being a little confusing.
And I agree they are fun to search for with little to no monetary value.
I'm seeing some thickness but Denver had reverse initials that are thicker than the Philly counterpart during the late teens.
See if you can detect extra thickness on the base of any letters from USA.
The link makes cents posted showed notching and separation on the initials. Is there any on your coins?

@Bent: If you found many different one on different dates, can you list the other dates?

Don't collect these with much hope of financial gain.

Sorry about the confusion on the post. I have come across 30 of these with enlarged initials some different dates is this common on the shield cent? And when I say value I do not mean monetary value I mean collector value. This is not a job a hobby!! Thanks Bent I will post different dates tonight.

As Petespockets55 said, there are some of the Denver shields that just have a thicker look, just the way the master die was made. As I said, in my earlier post, I think yours is just a late die stage, it has that puffy, worn out die look to it. What you want to look for on these, is distortion. If there is thickness but it is uniform, more than likely, it's not a doubled die. I was lucky in finding the first doubled die of any 2023 mint Lincoln and made out ok with my finds but it was nothing more than a timing thing. These are typically not worth much, as frog said but they are fun to find and I usually keep them. I have given away almost as many as I have found.  -makecents-

Thanks Makecents in the post I put ? Mark behind the DDR. But it ended up behind the date I don't know how. I do see Die Deterioration in this one. Thanks Bent and those were 3 different picks. |

I tried to email you but your email is turned off. If you would like, I'll send you some different shield doubled dies, if you want, so you can get a better idea of what to look for. Just email me if you are interested.

I'm thinking that the JFM initials are thickened from being in a Late Die Stage.
