No mineral oil on hand. Can I use vegetable oil, wd-40 or linseed oil instead?
Baby oil? Of the three listed I would go with vegetable oil. Can't really mess up a cheap common cent too much. I would use mineral oil if the coin was worth something.
You're welcome, Joey! Die #2 has a partial missing upright of the "R" in LIBERTY. Check Variety Vista to see it. I have found multiples of Die #2 but only a few of Die #1.

Looks like Die #1, which is much the tougher of the two strongest doubled dies. Nice 'pick!
Thank you, mman!
