Hello from a newbie & first post

Hello everyone! My name is Ken and I'm a long time very average collector. I joined this forum to make some friends and share in collecting passions. I have a soft spot for nice varieties and errors as well as older coins because they're very artistic. However I can find something I like about every coin I see. 
As a first post I thought I'd try my hand at sharing a coin I recently acquired and photographed. It came from a roll I won as a prize in a monthly coin identification contest at a place called e.scottcoins. It's by no means a spectacular coin but for the price of $0 it's a fun find!
It's a 1936 Lincoln Cent Doubled Die Obverse #1. I'd expect it's a VF or so. Opinions? Please pardon the mediocre images. I'm new to photographing coins but trying hard.
Thanks to the folks at PCGS for allowing me to be a part of this forum.

Hello Ken and welcome! I’d say your photography is pretty good for a starter, and nice 36 DDO!

Welcome to the board !
Well you already taught somebody something, since I wasn't aware offhand that there was a 1936 DD.
Welcome, and that's a decent picture!
Welcome, nice pics👍👍👍 I’ve always liked the ‘36 DDOs. That’s a nice wholesome example of Die #1👌 I specialize in rare die varieties, if you ever need a hand just let me know
Welcome and those are very good pics. Congrats on your find.

Truly a great and refreshing first post. Sounds like you have your adventure well in control. Congratulations and welcome to the forum. Great photos and nice Lincoln. Not many new members think of PCGS, but without them this would not be, at least this successful.

Welcome, there's a ton of coin collecting knowledge here on any corner of the hobby you may have a question. I'm not a real Lincoln expert so I will leave opinions on your coin for those that are.
