The fact that it is such a wide spread D/D and also a DDO and also the DDO is due to striking with two different die variety makes it one of my favorites! Jim
Larry, That is a real sharp 13-. I like it. An interesting 39-. And I don't know what tom say about the 43-. That can't be real, can it?
It is a real 43 but it's plated. The 4 is damaged. It's actually the best plating job I have ever seen.
Nice example and the length of this thread is showing just how many Lincoln pennys have been minted! Ruben
You are hard to disagreee with It's a nice coin with an issue, too bad for the spot. It'll only get worse.
The 1909 looks like a MS 66 to me flawless coin. edited (I don't know if that breaks any rules to ask that?) edit - it does when you post it here
SEE PAGE 4 of this post Sorry this is out of order, but I love this posts and check it regularly. I agree with Jack. The 09 S VBD is harshly cleaned with lots of carbon spots (wouldn't suprise me if it got near a grand on ebay if for sale), 14 D was harshly cleaned and 31 S doesn't look bad but hard to tell from the pic. All key dates though so still worth some money. Just MHO.
1910- my local dealer said it was dipped? Coin has turned more "red" but some of this is the lighting: MS 64-65? [/IMG] These photos when I first bought coin.
I cannot tell for sure about a couple spots that I see in the red pic, but if they are that light, I would think it is every bit a 65. That is a nice coin!
