    Just what the title says folks... Id like to know the diference between an MD and a DDO/DDR. I know i saw a drawing/sketch of the "shelf" and "edges" of the lettering but i cant find the post... Can anyone give me a little schooling session? What all should i be looking for on Memorial Cents??

    And just for the record, doubled dies are considered varieties, not errors. If you are interested in lincoln cents, both memorial and wheats, the lincolnresource.net forum has a lot of great pictures and information as well.

    ddr/variety... more than 1 consecutive coin struck to be identical... (look at the letters of "monticello")

    error... unique, in a way, in that the next coin didn't have the exact same flaw, i.e., missing planchet...

    Thank you Non - I just learned something new!!! I've mistakenly been calling WAMs and CAMs 'errors'.

    I am now officially in search of a 1992 Close AM Variety!
