    Well as emberesed as I am to admit it I cannot find an error!! I'm sure they've gone past me, but how do I spot a DDO, even for the 1995, I just don't see it! If anyone could show me what to look for that would be great!! Also can you see these with your plain eye or under magnification?

    Naturally someone always beats me to that one. However, to carry this a bit further. If you do go to that web site you might find that the individual that has that web site also has two books out on just Lincoln Cents. I see them at all the coin shows and you may find them at a local coin store. I find it much better to look through his books for info rather than messing around with a web site but that's because I'm old and need time to do everything.
    If you do get a chance to go to a coin show you may find numerous books on just error coins. At one coin show I go to there is a dealer that sells nothing but coin books and coin related items. At times he has what looks like 50 different books on coins. Some are just on errors.
    Also, if you have the famous Red Book by Whitman publishing, pages 400 and up discuss the many errors.
    As to that stupid 1995 Lincoln Cent Double Die you really have to stare at the Liberty and some of the letters at the top to see a real slight doubling.
