nodeliman Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Just joined this group. With all the spare time off work I am looking at my coin collection in depth for the first time. Came across this 1984 Lincoln cent. Is this a true doubled die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenstang Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Welcome to the Forum That looks like Machine Doubling (aka Mechanical Doubling) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 No that flat shelf like look comes from strike doubling and carries no premium. This photo from Variety Vista shows a true 1984 doubled ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodeliman Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Thanks for input. Obviously I am not grasping the doubling totally. The 1984 doubled lobe you pictured, is it the only doubled lobe for that year then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby Abernathy Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 maybe these can help you. I'm a newbie too and find that looking in your coin books or google what you want to know will often show pics of what you want. Its not always easy to be a newbie. but, no one learned it all in a day or all in a book. Everyone here seems to be very well educated on all subjects of coins and have helped me greatly. Have fun & hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
