[QUOTE="AgCollector, post: 297621, member: 5928"]I think this one might have a chance at being a doubled die. The initial hub impressions on the earlier Lincolns weren't as strong so there are some doubled dies out there with fairly weak doubling, see for example this one from 1941 [url]http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1941&die_id=1941p1do001&die_state=lds[/url] Now, the spread on yours is not rotated but shifted radially, which means it would have to be a class II doubled die, or perhaps shifted uniformly, i.e. class IV. If you can find notching at the corners of the letters (like split serifs) that would definitely indicate a doubled die. Try to get a good look at the tops of the "W" in we and "U" in trust and see if you can see any notching.[/QUOTE]
