Drinks are on me everybody! maybe

I believe I have the rare 1970s ddo. I refer to Wexlers website when I believe I have something and to compare the die markers. This coin had every single one. Some you are able to see in the photos, others you need magnification but they are all there. From the die scratch through the lower seven through the upper O in the date, the vertical die gouge under the chin and above the E in Liberty . The die scratches between we and trust and all the ones on the reverse. I see the knots and some of the doubling in Liberty but this coin is not like the 69s,or 55, or the 72 even though it's still a class 1 doubling type. So, is this your guy, or do I need to go to bed!

There are 27 known versions of which 15 are proofs. So which one are you claiming it to be from the 12 remaining?

 

Ill drink to that Im partial to a spot of Macallan the 1928 50 yr old anniversary edition

 

I'll leave this call to the DDO masters to call it as I'm not the one!

 

Lincoln's are not in my collection scope, so I won't even try to verify it, but I wish you luck. Let us know when it is certified.

 

Spend it.

 

I too, am unfamiliar with the various die states for the Lincoln Cents. However, I know something about good scotch. So Justin, if you're in the neighborhood I have some 21 year old Macallan that I save for special visitors.

 

Can you take pictures of your Coin? Just to see what you see.

 

I don't see anything in your darker picture, I see some glare in your lighter ones.

 

I think your photos are clear enough that they'd show the doubling on ER if it were present. I don't see it. I also don't see the date scratch. But the 7 and 0 sure do look like there's something going on...

 

Are both pictures from Wexler?

 

I see definite doubling in the date ...

 

So, 1 so far saying that's not it basically.
Thanks for your input, I'll wait on others

 

Totally! you just confirmed that I'm not coo coo. I'm just waiting on more responses

 

This is the one right here I believe that I have.

Comments: This is without doubt one of the rarest of the major Lincoln cent doubled die varieties. Only a few dozen specimens of this variety have been reported over the years.

 

All the photos are of my coin except for the very first one with the red arrows.That was a screenshot of the real one showing two of the die markers so people can compare them to mine.

 

I don't see any doubling. So,where is my drink?

 

I am going to post another photo that shows the die scratch really clear along with some of the other markers.

 

Remember. The mint mark has to be in same exact place as the true ddo.

 

All the votes aren't in yet, however great choice for an alcoholic beverage happens to be my favorite!
