Hmm I thought artifact detail was rough lol Anyway I was about to sell a penny that was slabbed by international numismatic bureau but the case was cracked so I thought id switch it with one of the "early Lincoln Cent" that are slabbed for some reason beyond me easly find a better Wheat penny on the parking lot at wal - mart When I started to photograph the 1966-p cent I think I found doubling over the word liberty and possibly the date as well the coin is graded sms70 And toned nice should I wait to sell it is this a common find ? As soon as I see a responce on here I will upload the pics I've got some realy good photography skills and think it should be easy for you all to see and let me know if this is a correct theory 1966-p d.d.o ? * Edited by Staff to remove YELLING * Edited by _SORROW_ 05/27/2011 8:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 05/27/2011 7:44 pm Looks like Machine Doubling or Die Deterioration. But, can we see a pic of the motto? I am no expert though hopefully they will chime in! Report this Post to the Staff

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 05/27/2011 9:08 pm Looks like a normal coin to me. But I am no expert. I also don't think the slabber was a reputable TPG and the coin is absolutely not MS70. Nice example but closer to MS65-66. Whether it is from a Special Mint Set sms or not I am not sure of the diagnostics. Edited by amida17 05/27/2011 9:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 05/28/2011 12:45 pm When shooting photos to look for doubled dies always use one light source and keep it as high as possible close to the camera. It looks like you used two lights for the above photos and the effect can give a false image. Report this Post to the Staff
