Here is the little cousin of the 1955 DDO. Old number FS# 1-021.93, CPG says (1-0-IV+VIII) doubling on the 1,9 of date and Lincoln's eye. Also the edge of the coat lapel is doubled. Much less expensive. Thanks for looking, Jim Doubled Eye: Doubled Lapel edge:
Thanks for the compliments all! To be honest about it, I do buy many of them on ebay. Had to send a couple back that weren't what the seller thought they were. ( '36 lincoln DDO and 1917 DDO ) are most common ones honestly mistaken by the seller. No problems on returns. I have found many in complete sets I have bought from others. I check each one carefully and I have a good scope and most important, reference books and this forum members. And although maybe not PC these days, I believe ( without religious attachment) that if you do good for people, it will come back to you. Odd for a scientist I know. Jim
It's alway's good to be thurough in attributing a cent. I must say that the coins you have attributed and posted on this Forum are a life long dream of many. So what is your next goal?
Rhubarb, thanks for the compliment. I feel humbled. I love to learn and teach, and this is one area I have a lot to learn! Tdec1000, I am a retired college professor of 36 yrs in the classroom teaching mainly Anatomy/Physiology, Chemistry, and Microbiology. I took up geology when my son expressed an interest in gems, and we took classes and learned how to cut gemstones, and considered getting a GIA degree, but I don't want to work anymore ( well maybe if Heritage or other firm offered me even a low job). And I have seen some nice coins from your postings also! Thanks again to all of you. Jim
