<p>[QUOTE=&quot;non_cents, post: 1914914, member: 30970&quot;]Jim Fines, a collector and member of the Lincoln Cent Resource, stunned us all this past week with the discovery of an extremely strong DDO! According to attributors, this one matches if not exceeds the doubling seen on the famed 2011P-1DO-004, and rivals the doubling on that of the 2006P-1DO-017. Clear notching and obvious, heavy distortion can be seen on just about anywhere on the obverse of this coin, and it is noted that this particular example has possibly the largest spread in the bow tie of any modern Lincoln Cent doubled die.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jason Cuvelier had the opportunity to photograph this amazing specimen recently, and coppercoins.com announced that it will be saving the 1DO-001 title for this coin.</p><p>Jason gave me permission to post his photos here to share with the cointalk community, and here they are!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww322/jcuve/2014P-1DO-001b_zps9a89f437.jpg~original" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And a comparison to the strongest DDOs of the past decade or so...</p><p><img src="http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww322/jcuve/2014-compare-date-ERTY_zps0cb19d85.jpg~original" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am not an expert, but to my eyes it looks like a class IV+VIII (offset/tilted) doubled die much like the 2011 die 4, but of course I will leave that one to the attributors. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Keep this one on your radar screens, with a doubled die this major, I would think that there are a bunch of other major doubled dies for 2014 that have not yet been discovered![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
