What does RIDB stand for?

 

Retained interior die break (only my guess)

 

Need better pictures.

But really, come on! A title like, "1959 D LMC RIDB," without commentary? I mean, how cool is that, nobody even heard of this damn acronym?

 

RIDB "Retained Interior Die Breaks"

It's well known acronym for error and variety collectors. Many "RIDB's" can be found on LWC "Lincoln Wheat Cents".

I'm just glad..TGIF

 

It's not a retained interior die crack.

It's just a normal die crack.

 

Thanks Fred, I had already returned Noland's email that it was not a RIBD. I should have noted that on this thread.

 

That would make it a NDC, then. Or would the proper acronym be just DC?

 

Lol this one is crazy from your link, Lincoln trying to be Jewish

 

Oy Vey

 

If you look t his Hair, towards the back of Lincolns head, I thought I saw, what looks like another raised area, crack?
I am thinking a lamination, could be the lighting though.

 

First picture shows perimeter of die break from gouge at the back of the neck, up the ear and temple and into the hair. Second picture shows the elevation and texture change between the two areas. Yes, there are die cracks on the forehead and the hair, but I believe the back of Abe's head is an enclosed die break.
