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?
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.
full views 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.
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.
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. Joe
I'm cracking up 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
