    Newbie Coin Question 70s

    Hello People, I am new to the Coin Collecting world & really appreciate anything that might advise on whether this coin is a DDO. I bought some rolls from the bank & it had a roll of 1970 s mint. It appears to be a roll someone had turned in cuz they were all 70 s. Hopefully I can get a picture loaded here. Thanks for any help.

    Welcome aboard! All I'm seeing is a little md (machine doubling).

      Welcome!

      It's not the big 70-S DDO, looks like a normal large date.

      Really helps if you say exactly what you see.
      Feel free to give a long description, we're happy to read.
      There are some minor ones that might only show on the 0 or 7 of the date or the L of liberty but they aren't worth big $ like the big DDO.

            Thank you guys. I have a hard identifying doubling. I see the shadows around the lettering on this coin that made me think it was dd. Just me. Gives me better idea. Thank you. And photo is with a Lg v10 phone.

                  Welcome to the LCF! jfines69 gave you the links to search for doubled die varieties above. Here is the link to the 1970S Small Date, which is the rare one!

                  Information about the 1970S small date Lincoln cent variety.
