Loose Die Compared To Real Deal

Heres two example of 2013 Lincoln Cents, one is the real deal, the other one is from a loose die First I'll start with the loose die, flat, shelve like (LIBER) next is the real deal, very round on doubling (LIBER)

Agreed on #1: die chatter.

#2---- I don't see a DDO, more like strike doubling.

 

both of these photos looks like this may be the same type doubling. if the coins looks this way in hand you may have a real doubled die here. maybe you need to let a error specialist look at them. from looking at the L in liberty this may be a combination of MD and DDO the L looks like it has doubling from two different directions . It would be hard to say for sure what you have from just looking at the photos.

 

heres the rest of LIBERTY, first will be the flat looking one and heres the second one

 

I believe #2 is a DDO, I see the split serifs with no shelfing.

 

There is a strong glare, and I can't guarantee that I see notching...but the extra thickness that I am seeing in the left arm of the Y in LIBERTY is usually indicative of a class IX doubled die.

 

thanks everybody
