Die crack and possible doubled die?

[Rosco53]

Just found these two in my last bag, not 100% sure if they're anything or not...
Possible doubled die:


Die crack?


And a 100 yo to top it off ;-)


Happy hunting everyone!

Hello Rosco,
Nice finds. From the pics, it looks like the "E" in "WE" is doubled. I don't see much in the way of doubling in the other pics. I took a look at lincolncentresource.com but could not find a match to what you have posted. Try searching for 1972 doubled die Lincoln cent to see if you can find a match anywhere. Would be interested in what you find . As for the die crack, I can't tell from the pics if the line is raised or not. Since another scratch is also displayed on the cent I would lean more towards it not being a die crack and more of pmd; but, honestly can't tell from the pics. Nice find on the 1918! If I find any close match to your 72' I'll update this reply.

I'm no expert (and I've been mistaken before when viewing on my phone), but my impressions are . . .

The doubling in "WE" looks like something more than typical MD, but your '72 has so much circulation wear it is hard to say.

It looks like the raised "forehead" line in your 2015 could be a die crack. The "nose" line looks more incused - PMD? or strikethrough?

The 1972 looks like it may be a winner. It is so worn, however, that the premium will be limited. The 2015, on the other hand, leaves me with doubts. I can not tell from the images provided whether the lines are raised or incuse. The lower lines may be a strike-thru, but again, I can not tell from the images.

Time for more coffee.

Yeah, the nose lines I figured were definitely PMD on the 2015. The forehead though just looked different from a scratch, unless it happened a while ago and has just worn down, but even then... And yeah, the 72 is definitely worn, which doesn't help. Appreciate the input though everyone!
