Hi everyone, I am very excited to find this coin, apparently, it is a real doubled die coin to me! but I like to hear your comments please. appreciated it.
Not a Doubled die variety IMHO Looks like Mechanical doubling and Deterioration doubling. Both worthless doubling not related to a true Doubled die variety.
Yes. It appears to be doubled, but not the good kind. Sorry. Worthless doubling. http://www.doubleddie.com/144801.html
I checked PCGS auction records, and yes, they did not mention doubled die but exactly the same coins sold for: Red MS 67 $7638 Brown MS 62 $633 Red and Brown MS 67 $690 And I know that these prices are AUCTION prices but still how mine coin could be worthless with mechanical doubling!
So?your coin is no where near that condition.Your literally comparing apples vs oranges its heavily circulated.Your coin isn't completely worthless,one centmachine doubling has nothing to do with true doubling.Machine doubling differs from true doubled dies because essentially its just a little bounce action within the die when the coin is struck.What you see on the letters etc is more like damage but it is a type of doubling just Nothing near a doubled die.Doubled dies on the other had happen when there's a mistake within the hubing process.After the coin is struck the details are impressed into the coin twice.Then basically its like a mirror,the details are doubled to each other.most of time pretty slightly but it can get pretty intense like the famous 1955.
No it isn't https://www.pcgs.com/photograde#/Lincoln/Grades. https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-grading-guide/grading-lincoln-cents/
On Lincolns, die deterioration can be determined to some extent by how close the "L" in Liberty is to the rim as the die spreads mainly from the center outwards to the edge. This spreading typically produces a much lesser level of doubling appearance. whereas in true (Double-Squeeze) years, the height of both will be very close to the same. The single-squeeze modern stuff is "vibrations" or whatever and not my thing( as students say). Some DD are very easy to tell, others are slight for the determination. IMO, Jim
