1984 DDO-001 (coppercoins) JACKPOT!!!

Sorry for the cackleberries, you will find that there are many on this forum who are quite knowledgeable about error coins and varieties, and who, may seem gruff at times, know what they are talking about. I put Books in this category. Others want to be like them, but have nothing constructive to say. Try best to ignore them or as a last resort, click the 'report' word at the bottom of the the post for us to look at. Others seem to want attention, and posts things that are not related to the thread, to maybe up their post total or get a snicker ( not the candy), etc.

Wear would not account for the disappearance of the distinguishing features, as both the extra lobe and the chin/beard is much lower than the true features which show no extreme wear. Welcome! Jim

They are ruthless around here. You will find an answer about your coins here though. That is a normal 1984 cent.

 

All I ask for is a simple straight answer, Books, desertgem and tomfiggy thank you for the kind words. I got back into collecting after selling my Canadian collection 4 years ago and also the last of my father's collection. I see things with a USB microscope with 200x zoom. I found what I think are doubling on the designers initials but am unsure to show anyone as I posted a 1968D that showed 2 separate sets to initials and was told I'm seeing things, even after showing the coin on an angle you can see the 2 sets and was still told the same thing. That is why all I ask for is a fair chance to check my coins and hope that others can see the same thing, I enjoy collecting and after be burnt out buying and selling sports cards for over 30 years with my father it's nice to try something different for a while. If I find something worth wild then that is fine, finding LWC CRH is a small bonus as that what was left of my father's coins. I have 4 rolls of small dollars and am only 10 coins shy of the Presidential P and D set.

Thank you again
Anthony

Be careful making judgements about what you see at 200X magnification.. I also have a USB microscope and light reflections are very deceiving. I usually look at coins zoomed out to 15X or so. If I see anything I zoom in, If I can't really see it at 10 or 15X chances are it's not there. At 200X all kinds of stuff looks like doubling. Your best bet is to study the images on Wexlers site, and Coppercoins, as well as the pictures, and master listing at Variety Vista. That way you will get a feel for what to look for. There are also some excellent tutorials on these sites, as well as the "Lincoln Resource Center" that will help you tell the difference between a real doubled die, and MD. It is still tough because not all MD is flat and shelf like, and some doubled dies have a weaker first, or second impression that may be dismissed as MD. A lot of studying is a good thing. have also found the "Cherrypickers Guide" very helpful..

 

Over magnification of a coin will sometimes create images of things that are not really there.

Keep looking.
Good luck

I don't mean to spoil anyone, so don't expect to see this again.
