It's true. It really does look like a split serif. Maybe it's a different doubled die? In fact, there does seem to be some noticeable separation...
That's a really beautiful steel cent! That line inside the C of CENT looks like a clash mark from a die clash. It looks to be Lincoln's back. It...
Thank you and everyone else for letting me enter! And thanks @lordmarcovan for hosting! It was fun!
Awesome find! I feel like I have noticed something like that before too!
I've seen those medals but never knew what they were! Thanks for teaching me a little something!
I am confused by this thread, I won't lie. Are you aware of why these coins were graded lower than they seem or is this just a general discussion...
That is tricky. The right leg is split, but is that splitting from doubling or from a little nick (damage).
Interested to hear more from this thread. I would send it in for grading. I agree that anyone looking to buy a matte proof Lincoln would rather...
I had trouble early on too, but eventually figured it out. If you figure it out, feel free to post them here!
That was kind of you.

I am mostly seeing the doubling on the bottom of the U and S in TRUST. That looks like DDD. Again, I am not great at these LMC doubled dies. From...
Welcome to CT! I definitely see two die cracks: the one through the F and A from the eagle's wing, and the one from George Washington's portrait...
Hard to tell. I am seeing machine doubling, but that doesn't mean it is not the variety. I think the leftmost serif on the left leg of R is a good...

That is quite the impressive construction!
I know that. I was just trying to provide some sort of explanation clearly and explicitly. It doesn't matter who is driving the train. We're all...
I noticed that coin wrapping machine scratch on the interior edge, but I believe the OP is referring to the dots in the field. Those look like bag...
Top one. Despite the damage on the bottom one, I still do really like its color. However, I think for VG10 the top is better.
