1972 lincoln d.d.o #?

This is my 1972 d.d.o , the pics are crappy thou.. But if you triple click the obverse part you might be able to see what Im talking bout. This is not the big one ( meaning #1), mine has to be like #3 or 4..

 

2007 Nickle strange

Here is a 2007 nickle that I need some insight on .. The windox is marked and the second pic shows some extra metal under the building.

 

are you putting your camera on a tripod or something to stabilize it, might need a better picture to tell what may really be going on.

 

Most of the '55 PMDD's I have found all have that look about the I in Liberty.

Looks alittle more like it's been pushed to the east more then a DD.

Here's two I found recently.

 

When I first found this forum, I posted a 1941 with a slant one. I had seen one listed for sale on eBay and was avsolutely convinced I had found a major error. Even after experts told me what it was, I argued and demand an explanation for the toning, slant, etc. ALL of it. Then, I read and surfed and read. I can tell you without doubt that the coin was placed on top of a roll of coins in an automatic coin wrapping machine, It had the obverse up. The metal wrapping hook spun around the coin a few times rolling the end of the paper. It struck the 1 and actually knocked it into that postion. Nearly every year of the copper coins anyway has examples of them. I have since found 3 other 1941's with the 1 slanted exactly the same as each other and the one on your coin.

They are great conversation pieces when showing them around, but the damage does not add value to the coin/

It's still a neat find and each one teaches us that much more.

I hope my mentors now realize that boneheaded I may be, I will dig until I know. Then pass that on.

I have hundreds of coins in 2X2's that I have kept that originally I thought were errors. At first, I didn't have a complete understanding on how coins were manufactured. But with the patient assistance on many of the members, I pieced it together and now with the majority of coins I search, I can discard the ones with common anomalies because I can visualize how the "error" happened.

Machine doubling was one that took a long time for me to understand. I fell into the ebay trap where anything is called an error. Md is mistaken for a doubled die and those that don't know any better fall for it and buy the coin for sometimes outrageous sums which actually has nothing more than face value. The more you understand, the less mistakes you'll make and you'll be able to educate novices.

A while ago there was a thread debating the "poor man's doubled die". This is a coin that is not an error but because it was advertised as such for so many years, it was mistakenly accepted as one. It's a figment of a salesman's imagination.

1949 s/s

I don't think it's wrong to sell a PMDD anywhere as long as the description is honest and it's not promoted as an actual DDO.

I found this 1949 S/S in rolls a year ago. The best example or even close to it is on Copper Coins and they call it a S/S/S but their extra S, west of the main MM is weak compared to this one.

What do you do when you have found an example of a RPM or OMM and nobody knows about it and it's not a registered error?

 

RPM's

I bought a roll of "GEM" Wheats off a guy on eBay( 15 bucks) not long ago and the entire roll was 1955 D's(I was searching for a GEM '55 DDO) and about 12 of them were this RPM Variety. Copper Coins calls it 1955D-1MM-003 Triple Repunched MM

The third is a picture of a 1956 D RPM but the little part of a weak MM strike North of the D has me puzzled. It's supposed to be a D but has the Look of the top of an S.

 

P.S. Coin-Crazy, I too am envious of that '84 Double Ear .. I have been searching hard for one.

 

View attachment 93600 View attachment 93601 mule double reverse one rotated say 45 degrees. what do you think?

 

some examples of moved dates

Hey Coin-Crazy,

I thought I'd share a couple of "moved date" coins that I have found. They are definitely post mint damage , but the still make for interesting coins.

 

Hey Prospector,

I found 1 similar to your missing "UST" a while back and thought it was a partially grease filled but the experts informed me it is just PMD. Take a look.

 

Interesting.. but mine is a 1944. Wonder if that makes a difference? You can see a very faint UST in mine and it is also in better shape
then the picture I posted lets it appear. it actually has red showing through brown.

 

Here's my problem with " experts". Not eveything in this archaeology is a certain.

A good example is the recent discovery of the new Matte Proof Die Variety.

As far as I'm concerned this is an On-Going investigation as long as people continue to search.

The sad part is the opinions of coins is currently a " controlled substance".

I'm still hanging in there waiting for a 1917 Lincoln Cent Matte Proof discovery.

 

Now there's a coin I wouldn't mind having,your 1940 with no 9 and a slanted 1.

 

Here's my Double Die Obverse Coins.

 

RedWin, I have alot of those 1992's and according to the experts they are MD's

 

Ditto.

 

Well thank you man.. It is a nice coin, I was at my desk searching for error lincolns and that day i had about 6.00$ of cents. I was at the end of the bag and there clear as day I noticed the 1984 d.d.o. I was so excited, I was actually screaming!!! I cant find many pics of that coin online or ppl that are turning up with it..Most say my coin is an early die state.:yes:
