Hey all, I'm seeing extra thickness in the date, LIBERTY and TRUST. Done some more reading up on the topics and think I've ruled out both MD and DDD being the sole culprits here. I have also tried to match it to a listed variety and the closest option that I've managed to find (WDD0-003) Does not match up using the die markers. There also seems to be a hook at the bottom left of the MM. Does this look more like a die chip to you guys, or could it possibly be an RPM? I wasn't able to match it up to a known example. Is there a way to rule out something like a die chip if I run across a similar suspect MM? Hope I'm not going nuts on this one. As always any advice/wisdom is always appreciated. Thanks for taking a look!          |

looks like a die chip by the MM. Also I'm not really seeing any doubling, just circulation flattening.

Excellent images. However, this one doesn't look like a DDO or a RPM. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI |

Not seeing anything abnormal, just what the minting process from 1960 makes cents look like under way too much magnification.

Circulation flattening, got it. Seems like that keeps getting me. Anyone have any tips on how to rule that out better? Also, could anyone help me out when looking at the DDO linked and seeing where the doubling is showing? The examples of the 1960-d cents I was looking at on pcgs seemed a lot thinner when looking at the date, IBTY in LIBERY and T's in TRUST compared to my coin. Would this just be due to the die used at the time? https://coppercoins.com/lincoln/die...ie_state=mds |

Also managed to get this close up of the Die chip in the MM. Thought it was neat and figured someone here would like it too.   |

Recognizing wear, flattening, Die Deterioration, etc.... only comes with years of experience and the examination of 10,000's and 10,000's of coins. Do the work and recognition of the subtleness of MD vs PMD will come. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI |
