103 Days of Lincoln Cents

BadThad, I love the Memorials you've been showing. My old eyes (even with help) aren't good enough to confidently determine full steps. Does mine above meet your FS defination?

All you have to do on your browser is hit CNTL & + and it will enlarge your picture. Here is a screen shot of your picture on my browser.

BTW, yes, it looks like full steps to me.

 

I can't find my diagram picture, but there are two primary areas where the steps typically show weakness and are incomplete. The first area is at the bottom of the steps toward the middle. The working dies and sometimes working hubs show wear here from over use. The second area is in the middle of the steps and it usually starts on the right side. An excellent example of this can be seen on what seems like 99% of the 2006P cents. I think they overused the reverse working hub at Philly in 2006 as most of them exhibt mushy steps in the middle. The attached picture shows the start of problem in 2006. This coin is BARELY FS to me, but they are all there and complete.

Had to tell from the picture, but your coin is cutting it REAL close. Any merging or incompletness in the steps at all takes away the FS designation in my eyes. Get a 10x loupe out, you should be able to see the steps quite well.

 

That's a little better....you can see the area of weakness that's typical. The line must be all the way through to show complete separation across the entire row. I think I see a couple spots where the line is broken causing the steps to merge.

 

So many great cents today. Gotta love the cent/dime and the 1994 additional columns (I have been looking for one of each lately, but no luck).

 

I am pretty sure I know where you are talking about, but I still think it has a good change of being full. If I could shine the light at all the angles, I might know for sure.

 

Oooh... Now the lawyer had doned it!

 

Good Morning. Today's offerings are a NGC MS68RD 1995 obv and rev and a NGC MS68RD 1995D obv and rev. If you look closely at the 1995 there is what I guess is a die crack through "God We" on the obverse

 

95's...

 

Also a NGC MS69RD 1995 Double Die Obverse

 

Again, only one image.
Joe, thats a gorgeous MS69!!

 

BadThad, that's a great description of judging full steps. I'm sure I'm not the only one to add an understanding of the FS designation to our numismatic glossary!

 

Wow MS69 NGC..
I just look online auction this one is selling his/her PCGS MS69 Double Die for $ 27,500.00 best Offer.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/200615780892?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649 I do not know if there's is one MS70 og 95 Double Die Obverse..

 

Hey Joe.....it's called a "doubled die". The should be a D at the end. Hub doubling only involves a single, working die....not two of them. LOL

 

Hey, joe, that 1995 DDO is the coolest cent you've put up thus far. The 103 Days of Lincoln Cents is one of my favorite threads. I would like to see something like this continue in a general sense.

 

oops lol

 

I like the whole "double die" phrase. It sounds like a coin James Bond would carry, or even, collect.
