Message:: [QUOTE="Surgeprotector, post: 3041676, member: 93826"]So after reading a lot regarding the minor doubled dies in the 90's-2009's (thanks to everyones links, advice and information here) I thought I would hone up on what a DD really looks like and I found these interesting specimens (none look DD). The first one is a 1997 with a ton of issues, some I know the correct terms for but not all. In the first image of the 1997 Lincoln Cent the reverse has some, what I call, stress lines from the letters to the center of the memorial. The second image has a collection of stuff from die gouges to weird lines above the "States" in every letter but most obvious above the T the E and the S. What really intrigued me was the obverse, specifically the ear. Notice how the line of the jaw extends behind the ear and doesn't end under the earlobe like the other image I used to compare. What do you suppose that is?

If you look closely the step lines follow a downward run and even the end of the steps on the left are smudged towards the center it looks like a simple die break that smudged but how cool is it?
