I think that I have found a 1936-P DDO Lincoln head cent. I found some information on coppercoins.com and I think that my coin is 1DO-002 FS# 1C-015. This is my first find so I'm not really sure about how to confirm that it is indeed an error coin.
Below is a link to my photobucket album that has the coin.

This is the obverse of the coin.

Also, this is my first forum post, so I dont know if this is the best way to post pictures of my coin or not... Any tips?
Thank you for your help

From appearance (and it is difficult to tell with your images) it appears you have a normal 1936 cent with some beaten down wear which makes the letters look somewhat thick. I cannot be sure until I see a closer image.

Second, doubled dies are NOT error coins. They are completely different from one another. For more explanation, just read through the threads in page 1 of this forum. There are plenty of explanations to fill some time.

Thanks for the quick response! I will work on taking closer pictures and do some more reading.
