Nice lam. Looks like the 4 took a hit. Keep up the hunt!
The dies were constantly over-used in the 1950s, pretty much until they broke.
Those are good shots, however, you want to cut down on the "highlight" areas. I'm talking about the areas of Lincoln's forehead and hair. Try a...
The ear took a hit. It is damage, not a doubled die. Keep up the hunt!
Ah, so THAT'S where I left it...:D
I agree with Jody on both counts. Die breaks and clash on the first coin, minor lamination error on the second. I don't see a doubled die. Keep up...

A die is doubled during the hubbing process. You'll end up with a working die that is doubled. Then, a mintmark is added to the working die as the...
I would still like to hear your explanation for why and how this happened at the mint. Tip: saying damage can't cause what you are seeing is not a...
It can't be 001. Mintmark is not in the right position. You need to learn that mintmark position is a key marker for doubled dies. If the MM is...
