Hello I have a 1970 S large date In question here.. looking at the S , not sure if that's rpm or if it's doubling? Also I believe this coin is a Ddo and ddr? Please help lol.
@Bee69 Did you research the RPM, DDO, DDR possibilities on Variety Vista? Also, did you research how to identify a 1970S large date? Please do the research then come back and tell us what you found out! Thanks and good luck!!!
There is something going on with the MM on your coin. Maybe a RPM. http://varietyvista.com/02b LC RPMs Vol 2/RPMs 1970S.htm Brian's Variety Coins - 1968-1989 One Cent Repunched Mintmarks (briansvarietycoins.com) http://lincolncentresource.com/RPMS/1970Srpm1.html
Not particularly a show stopper . Even if it is an Obverse doubled die, not anything anyone would pay a premium for in my opinion and mine counts as 1 . Let's vote ??
Well, it is a large date, but none of the pictures at VV match your coin for DDO-002. Also, the VV pics for all 4 varieties of DDR are for proof strikes. Your coin is not a proof. Use the info from @JPD3 …to follow up on the MM…Spark
Mint marks can't be doubled die during that time. They were hand punched into the Die back then. Do you even know what the meaning of Doubled Die is?
This is a forum where you ask questions about coins right? Did I miss something here or is the air cough cough ego cough a little more than present?
Perhaps it could have been stated more gently, but had you known more of the history of the die making process (cough cough) you would not have mentioned doubling with RPM (cough…hint, hint: this is what you need to study), because these were 2 different processes before the implementation of single squeeze. You will learn that classical doubling basically ended with this implementation. While forum members will answer your questions, we also ask that you do your own diligence and be willing to learn. Sometimes members will answer outright, doing your homework for you, so to speak, while others will direct you to where you can find the information for yourself. To the direction path, I recommend going to John Wexlers’ website, doubleddie.com and reading all of the articles there, especially the section on how dies are made. Once you understand these numismatic tenets you will be lightyears ahead a better collector…imo…Spark
Welcome to CT @Bee69. Many members here have forgotten the learning curve we all go through when we started out, so some posts and comments may seem harsh, but read and educate yourself and you'll learn from all of it. Good luck.
