1966 DDO FS-101?

So I am the master of dud specimens, and I have little faith, in that possibly by a infinitesimal chance, that as I absorb knowledge and gain experience in numismatics, that I may actually develop a good eye for anything less than the most obvious major doubled dies.

In any case check out my specimen. I feel it is very close to the die information on CONECA and almost identical to PCGS specimens.

Criticism is welcome always even the destructive kind.

Nope. Doesn't match:

I am sorry to say that I don't see it.

That coin does have a lot of die scratches! Check out what appears to be a die clash appearing to be a column to the left of Lincoln's head. So that's why there's so many die scratches!

Close and almost count in horse shoes and hand grenades but not in coins. I am horrible at these kind of things, but look at the W in your last photo. In a real DD, you should see notching between the two "strikes", yours is nice, but smooth.

 

The fg looks different.. and is that a sword

 

Not seeing it.

 

I'm new and I apologize for interrupting in y'alls conversations...
But how do I upload a picture of my coins
I came across 1981-D penny what appears to be red looking dye or something
Help

 

I think it's a "hangman" figure, but what about the letter E just above it.

 

Welcome @Rebecca Barker. You need to start your own thread. Go to Formus at the top and select the category you believe best fits you question and then on the right side, click Post New Thread. To post photos, upload them from your file.
Also, my spiel for new comers;
You should always post FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and is easily enlarged by clicking on it. Always show both the obverse and reverse, even if your question is just about one side. Members can often give more valuable information having both sides to evaluate. Crop out superfluous background so just the coin shows, and post photos with correct orientation so members don't have to turn their computer in some awkward fashion to view it properly. Add close ups of areas you have questions about and make your questions as definitive as possible so we know what you are asking for. And try to have the best lighting possible to show the most favorable photo of the coin. Hope this helps in the future. Good luck.

 

On the copper coins link provided earlier; I selected the link therein to the images under the link to [ LDS ] which are the stage that CONECA has documented in their files and was my initial resource. I bought an unsearched roll of BU 1966 Lincoln Cents from Ebay and they were all certainly BU grade coins, some with carbon spots some that are beautifully flawless. All, but two are apparently of this die variety at varying stages from LMDS to LDS, I will post more today.

Most of my specimens show notching on the W, but the E in WE shows clearly as well as the rest of IGWT the notching is faint on this specimen on the date, but under the right light it appears better.

Compare with the LDS images and I believe you will likely agree with my analysis, this is a first for me so I am proud to have found them even though they weren't struck in the most valuable time for this particular die.

I will upload photos with the notching on the W from like, but earlier specimens in regard to the die's striking life.

 

I apologize for my contradiction @Rick Stachowski; I had not realised you had given your analysis on this specimen and I will have to side against my own evaluation on this in lieu of your much more extensive experience and keen eye for doubled die varieties. I have the utmost respect for you and your abilities and can only continue to study to become more adept at this art.

 

For the intent of remaining true to my word, adherent to the honesty which is my personal law based upon moral compass, I do hereby submit additional images from a specimen selected from the same roll. I believe this is the notching specific to the 1966 FS-101, but in terms of numismatics, even in my particular field of primary study, I am, but a child in comparison to many whom frequent this forum. Being that I have educated myself in most things that I know, even with full faith in my potential and capabilities, errors are highly likely to be made as a consequence to the lack of proper instruction.

More akin to the fine print within the final page of a national publication.

 

Please do not post any 69S pennies. Other than that, welcome to CT.

 

Those aren't notches on the letters. That's md. Flat and shelf like.

 

DON'T SEE IT
