I agree with no Full Bell Lines. Sometimes I find these hard to determine, but that thread linked looks good and comprehensive. I will have to...
It might be a strike through, but it looks more like post-mint damage to me. Can you see displaced metal?
Clicked on the link to see this, since I was just curious. Turns out after 76 bids it sold for $3,300 with free shipping. I wonder if a coin like...
I have definitely done this a few times, especially recently when I really just can't tell. I don't ever think it's a bad idea either. Sometimes I...
Absolutely! I hope you find that site just as interesting as I do. Also, your note about your detector's final "wekekekekewwkkwkwkwkkdjfblahhhhh"...
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!

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.
Clever.
Not to be too dismissive either, but I have heard that GSC cracks out problem and details grade coins to sell them raw. It's probably genuine, but...
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...
Separate names with a comma.
