Thank-you. This 1984 p lincoln cent has a dark cherry red toning that makes it hard to see past the surface it is possibly a variety as doubling can be seen on both sides 20220115_171530.jpg 20220115_172142.jpg

Try to see if you can find a match on https://coppercoins.com or http://varietyvista.com. Help the attribution process a bit by offering suggestions on what you think it may be. I say this because once you start trying to attribute coins yourself, you will answer many of your own questions and learn from the experience yourself. We all here are willing to help when needed, so don't hesitate to ask questions. Variety Vista has a wonderful logical process to see what is available. As far as I can remember there are very few years over that last 113 or so Lincoln cents that have been around that have a DDO and a DDR. Any information you can add to the post here will help the people understand what you are seeing with coin in hand.
Your lighting is just about perfect. Just don't try to get too close to a coin when taking a photo,, unless the camera has a macro (close up) feature that will not blur images if you get too close. A macro feature is usually represented by a flower.
Typically doubled dies would have the letters, numbers and other devices look thicker and may show a cookie cutter style line within those items. Since a doubled die is more than one impression on a working die, these impressions are typically close to the same height.
It there is a significant height difference between the impressions, or letters look thinner than normal or damaged, with one part lower than the other, suspect machine doubling or mechanical damage.Last edited by MintErrors; 01-19-2022, 08:00 PM.Gary Kozera

The designer's initials look doubled and stretched as dose both corners of the memorial. The viewers left corner has a notch as do 4 or five columns to the statue of Lincoln. One cent shows doubling the N shows a notch in upper first leg in both. C in cent shows seperaation.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I've got a lot to learn one step at a time. Question? Where is North South East West on a coin while I’m asking questions how do you tell in which direction a spread on devices has moved? Oh there is something that I noticed rim near the last T in trust maybe something like off center or misaligned or tilted die strike its lightly pinched in that area. The obverse I'll need to look at again get back with what I see . Thank-you
