I would very much appreciate thoughtful feedback for four 1936 Lincoln cents that I believe may be FS-103. For each coin, I am uploading several photos including the date, LIBERTY and the broken left leg of R die marker, IGWT and a reverse die marker for the late die state (die dot under S of STATES).

In making presumptive determinations, I used information from VarietyVista, Wexler, CopperCoins and several photos of PCGS-graded circulated examples of the 1936 Lincoln DDO FS-103 shown on the PCGS website.

First,

For this coin, would you be willing to post whole-coin obverse and reverse photos?

Thanks!

Not FS-103. There's no doubling in Liberty or IGWT. Your coin is normal with no doubling.

Your coin is not DDO-003. The doubling on all three of the major DDOs for 1936 is significant, even in later die stages.

I wanted to see the whole-coin photos for this one because there are several minor DDOs for 1936, and I saw something that made me think of one of them. Check Lincoln's eyelid to see if there is minor doubling, and compare your coin to DDO-009. There are several markers for that variety listed on each of the big three web sites, including the die polishing lines in the eye and lathe lines through the "L" of LIBERTY. DDO-009 is quite common.
