Is this 1968 S Lincoln Cent doubled on obverse?

Used different lighting hoping for clarity. I can also take a photo in the magnifier if that will help.

It’s really hard to tell from your pictures. Try to take obverse and reverse pictures individually and crop them. This will help members to evaluate better. Also do them with full images.

 

That yr/mm combo is notorious for strike doubling. Then again we can't see nothing in these pitchers. We need better ones, sorry. Don't you got no pitchers of you? We need ones like that, not this.

 

Meow does not recall finding those but has found more than a few 1970s one that got Meow quite excited until very close inspection and then reality set in.

 

For some reason 1968-S is a real hard one to find.

 

Well they are small photos , but they are clear enough to see that is die deterioration doubling(damage) by the closeness of the lettering on the perimeter of the coin. It is not a Doubled die coin, just damaged. Sorry .

 

I believe it’s caused by a worn die.

 

thats what I was afraid of. Dang it.

 

To confirm suspected doubling go to Wexler or Variety Vista. After 55 years almost all varieties have been identified for the 1968 LMC.

If the anomaly you find is not listed at either of these 2 sites, it will be die deterioration or PMD. We are talking varieties, not errors…imo…Spark

 

One last thing there's also a MDO for this year carry on
