Did you check all three reference sites for a match? It looks like a circulation hit to me. John1  |

Here's what I've already researched. I don't cling to it having to be DDO. I only attach as far as I understand based on my little experience. If it is not. Welcome. Better here and not there making expenses in vain. Thank you.  |

I understand. Thanks. Sometimes you don't ask for fear of feeling too stupid and the mistake continues. Should the double die be similar to those in book publications? like the 1955 Lincoln Cent, 1969, etc. It shouldn't be smaller; it shouldn't be bigger, am I right? |

DDOs can be small, especially on newer cents. I struggle with many of them because die wear and circulation flattening can mimic the newer ones to a degree. You want to look for notching in the corners of letters (will look like a step) and/or split serifs where letters come to a point. The hardest to find in my opinion are when the lettering is only wider than normal.

Never be afraid to ask or make mistakes, we all do that. The best way to learn is to ask. I'm not seeing a DDO on this coin though, but keep looking and posting what you find AND what you think you find. |

I agree with all. No fear. Asking, stating clearly what you see and think is the best way to learn from feedback... and we all make mistakes... John1 gave you good advice and even he is self-admittedly "wrong 20% of the time.  " Edited to add: By the way, what does the reverse look like? Can you post an image of the reverse? Can you include a closeup of the designer's initials "FG" to the lower right of the Memorial? Edited by igwt79

Gamezcal, I agree; doing our part in terms of research is very important. This not only helps us to learn, but also allows others to better help us. Thank you for the additional pictures. In my opinion, the new pictures confirm that this is a normal "FG" for the 1988 Lincoln Memorial cent (RDV-005). Here is a link for reference: http://goccf.com/t/368491#3161994. |
