<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1510968, member: 15199&quot;]To answer your first part, a true Doubled die 1915 Lincoln would be a high price coin as none are known/verified. A close analogy would be the 1917 Doubled Die Obverse cent. Since variety collection wasn&#039;t well established at that time, high grades are very expensive, whereas well circulated may be in the hundred dollar range. But in any given month, 10s to 100s of 1917 DDO ( as per the seller) are listed on EBAY, almost every one is a case of Machine Doubling Damage with no extra value. If you hang around a while, you will find that the large majority of supposedly doubled die coins are MDD. That is why no one gets real excited at first until some photos are presented. We will be glad to help interpret your coins features when you can get a good photo of the date. Some use a magnifier in front of their cell phone or digital camera to bring the &quot;macro &quot; feature of their camera even larger.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take your time. Also remember that some times photographing at angles through certain glass, you can get a double image. Welcome to the Forum!!</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a MMD on the date , notice the right of the &quot;2&quot;. It is flattened shelf like,</p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/1921date.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a photo of a 1917 DDO type 1. Notice how each doubled part, is about the same height, and where they end, there is separated serifs of the number. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/1936date.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This one being so widely separated, the serifs are easy&nbsp; to see, but the reason I put it here is so you can see that each portion is about the same height, no flattened.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/195555date.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Another with no doubt.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/197272-a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
