    Hey guys, I was looking on ebay and found this coin. I have been practicing llokng at coin and trying to tell if they are doubled die or machine doubled. I looked at this one and to me it lloks like machine doubling more than doubled die.
    Some of you experts take a look and let me know what you think. I figure it does not cost me anything to practice for a while before I start to buy.:D

    Well, I'd have to say with the way the light is reflecting off the letters where the supposed doubling is, I'm not seeing anything...

    So you think I am right. Cool. I just thought it looked more like machine doubling because I did not see a seperation. I want to get some other peoples opinion so keep them coming

    No, it is a minor DDO. The key is the bottom of theR, T and Y in liberty, it has a notch, but here is a better photo.

    This dealer is a respected Lincoln variety collector/seller, and is often found here ( maybe a different ID, and on Lincoln Resource Forum, which is an excellent one.

    Notice Coppercoins calls it DDO-002, and Wexler calls it WDDO-006. It is a class 9 DD.
    It is difficult to find in circulation, and would be a fun one for a "Is this a DDO or not?" contest.

    This is another interesting one he has. I am tempted, but I am not sure which of the 2009 DD will be rare in a year or more. This is one that you can see fairly easily.
