1971 machine double die?

Here it is... a few pictures I took using a cam and a microscope.. hope you can see them.

I'm no expert but I'd say it's a Machine Doubling... Yes?

By the way, the first picture is of the L in Liberty.

 

Normally I'm one of the first to say MDD - but this one might not be. Can you give us more and better pictures, including a couple of the whole coin, larger pictures of the date and Liberty, and a closeup of IGWT

 

Oh, and can you post good pics of ONE CENT on the reverse?

I'm asking because there is a very large DDO on the 1971 that your pictures show intriguing similarities too. Take a look at the diagnostics for the LDS here: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1971&die_id=1971p1do001&die_state=lds

There is also an MDS state, with different diagnostics.

 

You might be right. The L and B in Liberty do look like they a double, but I would like to see a better picture of the coin.

 

More 1971

Here is some I just took. the reverse looks totally normal.

I am taking some of the reverse right now. Stand by.. I looked again using the microscope and ONE CENT looks Doubled too.

I can't get good pictures of the ONE CENT on the reverese. The letters are too large for the microscope but here is a front and reverse view of the same penny.

 

If it looks like this (which is what I see) http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1971&die_id=1971p1do001&die_state=mds you've got a winner.

 

In God We trust

Here ya go.

 

Yes Sir, it looks just like that one... thank you.

 

yup, that is a DDO, not a MD.

Congrats!

 

I forgot the WE

We

 

No Way Man... you gotta be kidding me?.. what's it's value?

 

Nevermind, I see the Value Chart on the link RockDude posted.

 

I can't really grade the coin from those pictures, but I'd say at least $100. Very nice find, congratulations!

 

Thank you.. you guys have been Great. I have some others I'll post soon too.

Yesterday when I searched new rolls I got a 1901 indian head and you can still read the word LIBERTY in the head dress band.

I'll try to get a good picture of the 1941 penny I have where the letter T is embeded in Lincoln's jaw line.

 

1941 possible dropped letter T

Full view and Microscoped picture.

 

looks like it's something dropped but Ithink it was from the sky.

 

To confirm The first coin it's a doubled die the images are raised and rounded I do see notching in the letters in God we trust A DDO. The second coin looks like Manhattan Island from a plane shot without the water.

You guys are too friggin funny. seriously, you could see the letter in his jaw bone when I clicked the picture. someone on here altered it.

Here's another try
