Lincoln die variety guys -- 1995 DDO?

mirabela

Hi -- what are the diagnostics for the 95 DDO? Is it basically doubling over GOD? If so, I found a pair. If not, what does it look like? Point me to any pics? Those I found are AU circ; are they worth anything more than 1 cent each? Thanks for any help!

I believe there has to be doubling in "LIBERTY."

Mine had stronger to light doubling going left to right in "Liberty" and some good doubling in left half of motto above.

OK, thanks. That copper site is pretty great, thanks for pointing it out. These pennies I found definitely aren't the real deal. Slight echo above "GOD" and that's about it. Thanks for the help.

Most likely a strike pressure issue. Sometimes the strike is so strong that the letters around the edges buckle back toward the center and cause what looks like could be a separation line on their ridge. Not collectible, very common, often mistaken for doubled dies.
