That's a winner!! Congrats!!
Yes...someone was angry with my state's quarter.
Nice pictures by the way. Using a flat/matte backing and cropping the pictures will draw the eye to the coin. You are off to a great start....
That sounds about right in my recollection. The mid and late 70s didn't produce a lot of RPMs, DDOs, and DDRs as I recall (I mostly collect cents...
Here is a link to the DDR for that date. Unfortunately, your coin isn't a match. But keep looking!! You'll find doubled dies out there....
I've not heard the terms used, but here is a link to the design varieties for the Lincoln Cent....
A general comment: you'll find that for various coin denominations, the obverse and reverse images may appear different. Here is a link to a page...
Don't worry Mike...it'll come. You're building upon the knowledge you are gaining each day. I found when CRH that with repetition, and there's...

Can you get a clear picture os the last S in PLURIBUS? The second T in STATES? The step edges?...
Looks like a ‘39 with a ‘38 reverse. In that condition it’s a valuable coin as far as Jefferson nickels are concerned. I agree with our fellow...
Looking at the back, it appears that there are older tool marks in the suspect locations. Feeling pretty sure that it's PMD. Also, if you look...
As noted above, different die pairings might put a better obverse die with a reverse die especially where paired sets had clashed and one of the...
Larry - you'll be amazed at what you find CRH. I found cents as thin as a razor blade; put into acid for a bit until it was razor thin. I've...
Here is the link to the Coppercoins listing with the diagnostics. Your coin does not appear to have them given the pictures you provided....
