Hidalgo Valued Member United States 216 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 06:37 am I've seen many posts and ebay auction for doubled die ( DDO) Lincoln Shield Cents. It appears to me that the doubling is weak/minor and requires magnification to really see the doubling. I'm curious what the experts here believe is the strongest true doubling (vs Machine Doubling) that can be found on a Lincoln Shield cent (by date and mint mark). Thoughts?

Centinal Valued Member United States 263 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 06:52 am 2014 P DDO-001 would be my candidate for sheild cents. But that is just my noob opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8744 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 07:16 am Dr. Wiles has always been a little more conservative than the other sites, so he is going to have less of the minor doubled dies. Probably the best way to see some of the stronger ones out there.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8744 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 07:39 am I would also add, probably 90% or more, of the shield "doubled dies", listed on the bay, are not doubled dies. Most of the doubling on there is a mix of MD, lighting issues and Die Deterioration. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8744 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 10:28 am I found a few more of the stronger, more distorted ones I had filed away. I didn't take them out of the 2x2's, so not the best of pictures. 2011P-1DO-004 2011P-DDR-001 2013P-1DR-002 2015P-1c-WDDO-014 -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8744 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 7:22 pm Hidalgo, I hope you don't mind, I had some pics already loaded on the site that I had used before to show the difference between a normal die and a doubled die, regardless of how minor the doubling was. This was for folks that aren't used to looking at shields. Hope this helps some see the difference. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8744 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 9:42 pm I've come to believe that Hidalgo has other skillsets outside of coins and would advise you steer clear of contact. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 10:23 pm Thanks for all those references MakeCents! I will get around to checking all my late model Sheild Cents soon enough and I've bookmarked this post. Report this Post to the Staff
Hidalgo Valued Member United States 216 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 10:30 pm Thank you to all for sharing your expertise. Thank you smallcents for sharing your photos. I have most of the major Lincoln doubled dies: 1955-P, 1972-P, 1983-P, 1984-P, and 1995-P.. The 1936-P and 1969-S doubled dies are out of my reach price-wise. I'm exploring the addition of minor Lincoln doubled dies, and there are so many of them! So it's a matter of deciding which ones are the best to add to my collection. The information you shared is much appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
