Lincoln Wheat Double Die Reverse?

Found this going through some of my wheats today. Looks to either be a Double Die Reverse or I guess its possible it was a severe Mechanical Doubling, although it doesnt appear to have the normal shelf like appearance Im used to seeing. Let me know what you think:



Thanks! :thumb:

Appears to be a deteriorated die.

Nice pic!

 

The die does not appear to be doubleD.

 

Machine doubling. The best place to look for a doubled die on wheat cents is on the dot in the EPU:

I thought so too at first but the "U" of Pluribus convinced me it wasnt die deterioration. It would appear as more of a smushed edge instead of clearly in the middle of the "U" right?

 

Guess the majority says Machine Doubling, and just when I thought I found something.

 

here is an example of machine doubling on a wheat cent. Check the last image to see how it corresponds to your coin.

Mouth-watering pics, coop!

 

Oh, I just found another DDR on a wheat cent which shows the doubling on the Dot in the EPU:

Thanks for the links, I can see some similarities.

 

Nice pic man-> just when you thought you had something nice the experts burst your bubble every time , never fail!

 

haha, at least now I have another example to add to my collection to compare with other coins. I appreciate all the feedback. Thanks fellas!
