I dont see any die doubling looks like possible die deterioration. Check out varietyvista.com doubleddie.com and coppercoins.com and look for a match. Also a good site to get opionions fast is coincommunityforum.com you can join for free...be sure to read forum rules before posting and look at some of the posts to familiarize yourself before jumping in. Im not sure why but this CONECA site is similar to crickets chirping at night you just won't get the same responses here. Im a member and have not found this site navigitable friendly nor found answer's I've sought. It is what it is so take a look at the other sites, dive in...their more dynamic.

In my opinion, it looks like worthless doubling. It is lower, step like and it is not close to the same height. I did a post on here about a 1962 proof cent, and it shows some decent cookie cutter style lines, some notching at the tips of the letters. Please note, that both impressions are separated by a little bit, and they are pretty much at the same height. Most worthless doubling is flat or close to it.

Have a look:

The variety vista site does list doubled dies and other varieties. Here is a link to the Lincoln cents:

Hello Stephanie,
All that respond to posts are either volunteers or other members so an answer doesn't always happen fast!
I agree with Gary on this one. You have both die deterioration doubling and machine doubling, it all looks flat/shelflike to the north.

A piece of advise, Look at VV and coppercoins. Look at how the secondary impression is raised. Learn what to look for in a certain denomination - and keep searching. I learned by going through only lincoln cents and learned what to look for in the design to attribute a certain variety by the PUP's - Pick Up Points and then marker's. Look at the conversation Gary and I are having about the 1962-P Proof Double Die Cent. That coin is a true double die.

I would also like to say that this hobby requires alot of work. I bet Gary would tell you he spent years finding 1-3 examples of that coin. Varieties are truely tough to find. It takes time and patience.
