Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1934378, member: 15929"]As explained, rotational doubling shows up more obviously on the outer edges of the coin but upon closer inspection, doubling can also be seen on Lincoln's Profile. [ATTACH=full]334254[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]334265[/ATTACH]Note the doubled eye, nose, and lips. [ATTACH=full]334266[/ATTACH]Note the doubling on the bowtie and lapels. More doubling near the edge of the coin. [ATTACH=full]334267[/ATTACH]On this view, note the doubling within the hair which gets more extreme near the edge of the coin. As explained, rotational doubling is non existent at the "center point" of the rotation. On the 55/55 DDO, that "center point" is very close to the center of the coin. Doubling becomes more clear at the furthest point. Other rotational doubling coins, such as the 1972/72 and 1995/95 have rotation points which are NOT in the center of the coin but shifted off to the side. Since the doubling becomes more evident the furthest away from the "center point" (of the offset), the 72/72 and 95/95 show more doubling in different locations near the edges of the coins. Typically photographs do not highlight these doubled areas but examination in hand reveals how extensive the doubling actually is on the entire obverse of the Coin. NOTE: This is not my coin.[/QUOTE]
