<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 422472, member: 15199&quot;]I wanted to see if I could post photos without too much trouble, and I had received these 2 Lincolns this week, the D/D just today. I searched, but didn&#039;t find anything recent. </p><p><br /></p><p>I find these coins fascinating because they were formed from dies that were hubbed with different size dates. As you may know 1960 had large date and small date cents. In the transition, both date size hubs were in the mint and on a couple of occasions in the die making process, the die was impressed by both , one at a time of course, because they had to remove the die to&nbsp; treat the steel of the die in between pressings and they used the wrong (different) one the second pressing.</p><p><br /></p><p>This first coin ( 2 photos) is a 1960D&nbsp; doubled die that is a small over large date. It is more difficult to see than the 2nd one , somewhat due to the worn condition and also to the dies.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r78/predcarn/1960d-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r78/predcarn/1960d-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This second coin( 2 photos) is a 1960 D/D which is both a Doubled die small over large with a repunched D/D, the second d much lighter and almost touching the number (arrow) DDO and RPM together on one coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r78/predcarn/1960-dd-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r78/predcarn/1960-dd-3-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I apologize if the size is too much, I will learn more for next time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
