1962 Doubled Die Obverse Lincolns

VCR#1/DDO#1

The first variety is listed in the Variety Coin Register as VCR#1/DDO#1 and exhibits doubling on the date, TRUST, nose, lips, chin and tie. This one is probably not too difficult to attribute but photo identification is recommended.

VCR#2/DDO#2

Our second variety is listed as VCR#2/DDO#2 and shows doubling on the date and TRUST. Other similar varieties are listed. Die scratches or grinding marks show as a pattern of spikes justting upward to the northwest from the rear of Lincoln's collar.  Without these positive die markers (or others) this one would be virtually impossible to attribute.

VCR#3/DDO#3

The third variety is listed as VCR#3/DDO#3 and is one of the many doubled dies for this date known on proofs. It is similar to several other listed varieties; without photos or a professional evaluation it would be impossible to attribute.  A small die chip found within the O of GOD helps to identify this variety.
