Also with the DD mentioned above how can only a part of a letter/number be affected and gets a big designation of DD? Shouldn't the whole date or word be affected?in the 1955 one the whole date was affected. You added this to your post after I replied, so missed it.... There are several different types of doubling, some affecting more of the die than others but not sure what DD you are referring to "mentioned above" there are several. -makecents-

Yeah that seems to be the only way to do it. Just hard to get confidence in what you are looking for at times since I feel like I have cashed in ones that did have something and didn't realize it! Lol

Lol There is no "get rich scheme" here. Many of the folks on this site have been doing this for multiple decades, I got interested in coins in 2011 and only started really learning in 2017, it takes time. I have searched well over a million cents now and many other denominations too and spent hours reading and re-reading the info on the links I have given you. This is a labor of love. -makecents-

The number 8 is almost 3D which is why I guess it's a DD It is a doubled die, the poster of the thread gave you the link to the official listing, which describes the doubling, you really need to pay attention to all the information or it's all for not and you will never get it. I have marked up the doubled die below to show you what I and the listing are describing. The distortion shows as extra thickness and the notching shows as the top of the 1 having a slanted look to it. Please read and study the links I have given you, not an easy task but necessary.  -makecents-

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the distortion is due to the different style of how the dies contact the planchet; anvil die vs (I can't remember name of new one) but am I wrong on this?

New style twists, is tapered, thus shows more distortion than say a '55s doubling

You are not kidding about this being a labor of love!
How do you get the Quote boxes in your replies? I don't see any button that allows for that when I try to reply to you directly.

Marlies I circled it in red, it's the "insert quote" button.  -makecents-

Can't reply to specific threads to get the quotebox from someone's entry in the thread.
Only get what you see at the bottom, but it doesn't pick up who I'm trying to reply directly to.

bbWhaaaat? ..but I...that is very disappointing! Such a bummer, Tacc.  I was actually brought into this Coin World by a 1914 D Lincoln Cent I saw go for over $5,000, I was immediately hooked.  Then I somehow got pulled into Morgan dollars for several years and then back to Lincolns. Along the way, it dawned on me to quit expecting the white whale and just enjoy myself ,and I have, since I made that decision.  It's tough to explain that to the newbies though, as for all the things I have been told in earlier life that I paid no attention to until it came to fruition. What do you do.... -makecents-
