Is this a 1960 D DDO?

[Tanman2001]

Found a AU 1960 -D- Memorial Cent while coin roll hunting and under a microscope it has some possible doubling. Do you think this is a doubled die or some other kind of minor doubling? There seems to be doubling on the 6 in the date and on Lincoln's neck. Other attributes of the coin include a large die crack across Lincoln's head and some cuds on LIBERTY.

Welcome to Tnet! Looks to me like a worn out die on it's last legs. Any minor doubling is probably just machine doubling and has no added value. The die cracks and filled letters might add a buck or two, but, I doubt any more than that. Still an interesting find.

Some of what you are seeing is on most of the 60's cents and I believe is due to the engraving process. Also understand that all examples of a certain doubled die will look the same, accounting for wear of course.
