    I'd say you definitely have something there. Whether it's a real double die or the more common "machine doubling" is beyond me, however.

    Yea it is really weird it looks like a doubled die but I try not getting my hopes up and this photo is heavily edited to show doubling and if you look at the 4 you can see the what I think is doubling and if you look at the 2 you can see the separation.

    Bryant, I think your persistence paid off, that looks to me like die doubling!

    There are 2 different doubled dies for the 2014 cent and none of them like this one so that is why I am confused maybe its an early die state for one of them.

    Great find! Could be the discovery piece?
    I'd get it attributed, and if it is a DD, (PCGS) slabbed!

    Bryant, can we get a straight shot of the date? And by "straight shot", I mean a pic that is not at a angle.

    Can you make the pictures lighter?

    What I'm seeing on the date looks like MD. LIBERTY actually caught my eye more, but I honestly can't tell though, because there also appears to be some camera shake. Can you get clearer photos of LIBERTY?

    I'm far from an expert but that date doesn't look flat or shelf like to me. Also Liberty looks good too. It very well could be just the camera angle or light or just hopeful wishful thinking, but I like it and I would also like to see some better pictures. Thanks for sharing this because even if it is MD it got people talking because it looks DDO. I hope you have found the real thing.

    I looked at the pictures lastnite and thought DD but I was really tired. Looking again now, I think you may have a winner.

    Most post a picture then immediately the reply MD pops up you've got our attention.

    Pics could be better but it looks like strike doubling/md to me. I'd also like to see a better close up pic of liberty if possible and the nose area of Lincoln.

    I will see if I can get a good straight picture it is really hard to do so because the coin is uncirculated and very shiny. It was late last night so I didn't want to stay up all night trying to take photos lol but I did manage to take a quick pick of IB if liberty that I believe shows good doubling but I also think it shows MD also.

    Take a close-up of the WHOLE coin, with the coin parallel to the lens. Use a tissue to diffuse the light to eliminate the glare.
