<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1383505, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;m looking at the <a href="http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/CoinDetail.aspx?s=37631&amp;redir=t" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/CoinDetail.aspx?s=37631&amp;redir=t" rel="nofollow">1909 VDB DDO FS-1101</a>, as offered in <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-VDB-Lincoln-Wheat-Cent-NGC-MS64BN-Doubled-Die-Obverse-CAC-Verified-/300670767103?pt=Coins_US_Individual&amp;hash=item46015fcfff#ht_515wt_818" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-VDB-Lincoln-Wheat-Cent-NGC-MS64BN-Doubled-Die-Obverse-CAC-Verified-/300670767103?pt=Coins_US_Individual&amp;hash=item46015fcfff#ht_515wt_818" rel="nofollow">this auction</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if someone showed me a coin with features like this, I&#039;d dismiss it as machine doubling without a second thought -- the doubled features are as &quot;flat and shelf-like&quot; as I&#039;ve ever seen.</p><p><br /></p><p>What earns this coin its own variety? Is it just that enough identical specimens have been found, indicating that they were struck from a die with these features?
