Is this the long awaited variety of " the 1984 double ear lincoln ? "

The thrill is in the hunt.

But it's exhilirating to find a good one for sure. Every time I have gotten lucky, I have spent hours looking at it double checking enlarging scans on my computer. It is a fantastic hobby in nearly every aspect. IMHO

This is actually my best so far,I think.. but I screamed when I found it ..oops

 

This is the 1984 Double Ear Lincoln Cent, worth about $175 in that grade.

 

But they are wrong. Look at the copy of the photo you posted and the colored outlines. It should be easy to see that the green ( false earlobe) one has a much sharper curvature ( arc). A true doubling, the curve and arc would be the same except for some of the rarer types of DD. You can see the curves of the 2 ear lobes in your coin are the same. To be successful with variety identification, you must be able to know when it is, and when it isn't.

dude... i see 3. clearly. maybe im just wishing. sweet find

 

That is a nice one!!! I can't wait to find my first!!! Hopefully it will be as nice as this one!

 

So true, I get excited everytime I get new rolls and break them open, it is like christmas as a kid!!

 

When this comes back as the rare 1984 d.d.o... I want you to bow down..

 

Yep, but the hardest part is waiting for the attribution and grading. I check my in box every 3 minutes just to see how something comes in.

 

I am not sure which coin , "this" is referring to:

If you expect the coin in post #20 to come back as FS-01-1984-101 from PCGS, NGC, ANACS, or ICG, you will be mistaken. Your original post, post #1 is the "rare" 1984 Lincoln DDO FS-01-1984-101, I confirmed it in post #5, If you are still wishing for a "triple die" ....your "triple earlobe" ..best of luck to you.

I give my best opinion, if is right, I don't Gloat about it, if it is wrong, I certainly don't feel the need to bow to anyone.

Excuse me sir, coin-crazy is asking if it's a new variety, not for it's value.

 

WOW! Nice coin! It sure is good to see one of these on the forum as they are quite rare. I can't even guess how many 1984's I've searched looking for one. I've basically given up hope. LOL

 

only 2, but it is the big one!
