Just going around the bay and I saw this'14-D. Check out the machine doubling on the date..

I don't see it...and that coin is definately not RB, more like a solid BN.

There may or may not be machine doubling, but what you're seeing is an artifact of lighting and luster.

Am I the only one to think that this is NO WAY a 65? Wow, that's one
overgraded 14D but I've never owned one that nice and maybe that
date is just too hard to find a strong strike? Oh, and yes it's BN too.

Well, all I can tell you, it's plain as day on my monitor. Even with a magnifier put to it. The heck with a LCD, I'm keeping this one.

refracting through the plastic makes it seem doubled

Correct. As originalisbest said, it is an imaging artifact.

Umm, well, actually. it's not because of the plastic. It's late die state and it has abrasion wear on the inner digits of the date which makes them thicker and makes the contour rounded where the digits meet the field, casting an odd light. It is very common for early mintmarked Lincoln cents. The same should be visible on the TY of LIBERTY.

As for the coin's grade, if it's not AU55, it's MS63BN. I can't really tell whether the spot on the cheek is wear without seeing either a much better lit image or the coin itself.

ya you better crack it out to make sure.

I'm not seeing any doubling. May be die erosion from a late die state.

Speakin' of 1914-D Lincolns, how come the one I submitted at the Charlotte show hasn't come back yet? And how come I get nothing but a blank page when I try to check on the submission, hmm?

*ahem*

Part of the problem could be that I used a three year old form with four freebies left over from FUN 2004. (Submitted it with a printout of CoinKing's approval, though.)
