I see major DD on the obverse. Lincoln has second hair line down the back of head. Also writing along face and numbers. Neck is fat, out of place looking. I'm new. I bought roller pennies from one bank and many of them have DD that is very noticeable so I feel like I'm wrong because no one gets lucky like that. Thanks to all!

    I don't think it's a DD.

    Don't see one here. If you have not done this already, go to Google and search "Doubled Die coin" or "Doubled Die." There is so much info that You should be reading for a week. AIn the end, you'll know more about them than many of us here. :smile:

    Generally, the easier to see the doubled letters the better the coin. Mostly it's only the very specialized collectors look for the tiny shifts. Some coins have almost a dozen tiny doubled dies and ony one or two "big" ones.

    Keep looking and good luck!

    I have read many articles abd was given link to Wexlers and I think it's pretty accurate. Author breaks down what 8 classes of dd are. They aren't all just double lettering that pops out wit naked eye. He gives examples abd explains process. I'm not saying you're not right to say it's not but that DD isn't just one class of letters that look pronounced. So what do you think it is?
    Here's link.

    Can you create a side by side photo of the coin in question and one that looks normal? I'm not picking up on what you think is DD.

    I do not see any doubling on that cent... You may want to pick up the Cherrypickers Guide, Vol. 1.... I can see you are doing some research already. Cheers, RickO
