I have been told and he could be correct, that this is not a legit doubled die. I have found two just like these that are registered. The back and the whole front side of his face and jacket. Who wants to tell what he thinks before I get back to everyone with a link showing this to be s doubled die?? And if I am wrong I will humbly apologize to the other man, and to every one else.
Please post photos of the genuine doubled dies so that we can compare them for ourselves. Like Rick Harrison says on Pawn Stars, "It's not that I don't trust you. I don't trust anybody." Chris
I'll tell you what Chris I'm going to do that I'm going to go to the site copy the link and bring them back and post them give me about 15 minutes
Looks like some MD to me. Not an actual doubled die. https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/5688/Double-Dies-vs-Machine-Doubling/ http://www.lincolncentresource.com/FAQ/machinedoubling.html
Yup, that is definitely machine doubling. When the entire profile exhibits the doubling, as you show, it is most likely machine doubling. Look at the shelf-like, shiny character - that is a clear sign of MDD.
Well there are two 1958 D Lincolns and a 1968D Lincoln, if the 68D is a Doubled die please give us reference as to which one it is. The photos that you posted of your 68D are inconclusive, they seem to show MD, flat and shelf like. What references are you using?
Give me a break! You've just posted a 1958D in an NGC slab, and I don't see the insert for verification. I don't see any doubling on the 1968D with the hits on Lincoln's face, and I don't see a slab for that one, either. Your horse is dead. Why don't you just go ahead and bury it. Chris
My pics may not be up to par but you can actually see them with the naked eye and they are raised. I'll get better pics Friday or Saturday. I was hoping to use cointalk as a reference but first I have to get better pics. Thanks. Duane
Duane, you are losing all credibility by persisting on this. You don't have a clue what hub doubling is. I don't think you've even taken the time to read the link that was given to you about worthless doubling. I'm officially done with this thread. Chris
LOL, man you are hard to convince. But like I said if you are right I will hu mbly bow to you and apologize. And you know they don't show any verification papers on line on these sights. But I can tell you that one sold for 285 dollars and one sold for1100. Dollars. There are actually 15 or twenty doubled dies and alot of them the back and the front. Some have lettering to add to it but some are just the back , or front , by itself.
Actually I have read it. I'm only making sure I don't toss out another coin of value. You are just as persistent ss me, and you have to be if you are getting anywhere collecting coins.I'll not bother you again with this thread.
I don't know why I'm wasting my time. If I could talk to your wife, I'd tell her to take the computer away from you. You can't convince me because you're wrong. I'm not the only one who has said the same thing, and between a few of us, we have 150+ years of coin-collecting experience. It doesn't matter what this coin or that coin sold for. They aren't your coin! You just made the comment above in Post #16. What does "raised" have to do with a doubled die? Absolutely nothing! Get out the shovel! Chris
