I'm not very good at judging dd's I have this 1994 that appears to be a bouble die. It could be die det. thought I'm just not sure. Anyone have with a better eye have an idea. Thanks ahead of time!
I'm not good at figuring them two out. I guess most of the time. I would love to find a true double like the 1983. Thanks for your help.
Like shoe said, machine doubling. Notice the shelf-like features to the doubling, there's not deterioration.
Do you realize how common "true" doubled dies are in the late Memorial series? Not the massive spread of the 83 you mentioned, but there are tons of minor DDRs. Start examining the area around Lincoln's statue as there are many to be found.
Unfortunately, the likely cause is quite common, but the only way one can say for sure is if you post clear photos of your coin.
