PlutonianFire Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 07/01/2025 01:24 am I recently went through my tub of about 500 1917-P Lincoln cents in search of any doubled dies that I might have missed. I found several coins that looked potentially promising. Please see attached photos. 1917-P Lincoln Cent Example 1 1917-P Lincoln Cent Example 2 1917-P Lincoln Cent Example 3 Report this Post to the Staff

HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 572 Posts	Posted 07/01/2025 6:13 pm Those look like 3 sets of photos of the same coin. Did you use different file names for each photo? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95655 Posts	Posted 07/01/2025 7:00 pm you posted the same 3 images, 3 times Did you use the same file name for each coin? - I seems like it to me that looking at the file names you repeated them for each coin.

Each coin image needs a unique name, otherwise they get overwritten with the next upload!

I had photos with the same name in four separate folders ... one folder for each coin that was a possible DDO. I had no idea the files would be overwritten like that. Please accept my apologies for the confusion. Am posting other photos. Report this Post to the Staff
