I think it depends on when they are discovered and their popularity. There are a lot of coins that are not listed in the Red Book. Space is a factor and sometimes it has taken years of asking for them to make the book. This is indeed a neat and easy to see DDO.
Just a possibility; it looks too much like mechanical doubling.
Bingo! I'm a early Lincoln guy and I've never been interested in it. The doubling is not shelf-like.

It is an odd doubling, the TY & 19 look properly rounded, then has the MD look.
I guess Wexler and others do acknowledge it as such...DDO
An odd axis (mistake) that created the die ??
Just looked at PCGS price guide and the top 3 grades seem to have improved considerably.
A foot note from Jaime Hernandez estimates 500 survival across all grades.

Minor doubling when compared to the first four you mentioned. More than enough supply to satisfy the demand keeps prices low.
Even though it does look like Machine Doubling, Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmm....
Not severe enough maybe. Looks way mote like machine doubling

It is a Class IV (offset hub doubling) doubled die that shows an incomplete first hubbing at the center of the coin. This class doesn't resemble the usual Class I or Class V doubled dies, such as the 1955 cent or 1916 nickel that come to mind when doubled dies are mentioned.
It isn't the most dramatic doubled die and I've always been stumped by the high values it commands. 15-20 years ago I cherried a half dozen or so. Back then they weren't worth that much. Die # 2, a kinda minor Class VI doubled die is even less dramatic. I'm also mystified by the prices it brings.

Class 4 - Offset hub doubling /no pivot or rotation.
One of the least common types of "Hub Doubling"
EDS coins could look MD ??

Actually Class IV doubled dies are not that uncommon.
I thought the same thing. It is a DDO obviously, the height of the doubling not as strong as others,
I like the "Y" in LIBERTY.

Definitely a DDO, however, certainly minor compared to the classics (i.e. '55)...Cheers, RickO
In the world of DDO's and cherry picking -They are common. In fact, I always tell new cherry pickers to search for them on Ebay to build confidence.

It gets no mention in the current "old" Greysheet, just not as much demand for it I guess

Looks more like DD to me.
Very common doubled die, and not visually striking like the others you have listed.
