Different 1960d ddo?

[Moon finder]

This is a different coin maybe doubled?

It looks like a normal small date. There is some master die doubling on the small date.

Do you know of any resource that lists/shows all known engraving doubling, master hub doubling, and master die doubling for Lincoln cents?

At this point no. When we have the entire CONECA Master List up, they'll be listed. It will be up to me and the team of attributer to slowly illustrate them. That's just one of many goals we have.

The small date 1960 has what appears to be engraving doubling on the 9 and 6.

Here is a small large date comparison:

Thank you very much!

So technically all 1960 sd are doubled die

[mustbebob]

You are correct. Technically, if all 1960D small dates were hubbed with the same Master Die that did have that doubling, then they would indeed all me doubled dies. The biggie here is that there would be so many millions and millions of them that there is no premium associated with them.

Hello can anyone shed some light on what is going on here? I looked up the S/L date variety and this just doesn’t fit. Also, the R in Liberty has a pretty wild error as well!

[mustbebob]

They are die chips. This is very common on 1960D cents.

[CoinsNJems]

Is this something that only happens with one coin or can this happen in the same exact locations on several of them?

[MintErrors]

Die chips can can be on many coins, a pretty common occurrence in the 50s 60s and 70s.

[mustbebob]

Since the broken area is on the die, it would be transferred to all the coins struck. As the striking continues, more and more of the die will disintegrate in that area, leading to the die chip appearing larger on subsequent striking's.
