    Good afternoon all

    I came across what I thought was a nice condition wheat cent earlier and thought I would take a closer look. I am not very good at determining what is considered doubling so thought I would share on here to see if I have got it right this time? I’ve compared my coin to variety vista and know it doesn’t match 002 but in my eyes it does match 001. I took the best pictures I could showing things like the date and the B in liberty as well as the motto in god we trust. Many thanks in advance for any help on this one

    I'm not seeing it by those images,to much light reflection to tell much.But the die cracks (IN and D of god)could be a clue to something else though.

    Thank you for the reply, I’ve got to be honest I don’t see any doe cracks at all in the pictures ( am I missing something? And if so what could it mean? ) sorry about the quality of the images the coin is very shiny and the light from my microscope cannot be turned off so I will try and figure out another way to get pictures.

    Most likely its a trick of the light if you can't see them on your end.

    Your MM seems to be rotated more left than DDO 001

    I did try and look at that but couldn’t determine if it was the same or if it was how I took the pictures. I was more convinced by the inside of the o and d on in god and also by the inside of the 8 and the outside of the 9 in the date. I compared to my other 1958s which aren’t the same so I’m stuck at this point lol.

    In my opinion, it's just a worn die. So DDD.

    It looks like a very small raised line in O in the word GOD. Not sure if that’s a start to a die crack or not but that’s all I can see. Other than it’s a very mixed looking last of the Wheat Cents.

    Thanks for the replies all, I will still keep hold of it as it’s in pretty good shape I suppose. Was really hoping I had managed to determine a DD variety this time but will have to keep on searching lol. Thanks again
