1959d lmc ddr?

"Gotta keep it separated!" While it isn't 1DR-001, it is something. Maybe someday I'll include it in a batch for attribution. I really want to find a discovery piece.

But . . . it looks sooooo close!

 

Close doesn't count except for grenades and playing horseshoes. (And close AM varieties) :smile

I have been lucky enough to have 1 discovery piece. It took me 2 solid years of searching. 1989-1DO-018. keep searching, and I promise you will be a discoverer soon.

 

I think not. The most indicative is that the initials in SV coin is not thickened in the middle as is the one in Coppercoin file.
IMO.

I thought they had the thickness, but I am a novice hopeful prone for discovery.

 

They aren't the same. Did you see the better photo of them in post#19? there is something funny there.... The 'G' in 'FG' looks like doubled serifs, and it's hard to miss the center separation. It's hard to tell if they are any thicker than they should be due to the evenness of each side of the split. What the heck?

here are some other neat things I see on this coin:

While I agree the coin in the OP is not 1DR-001 it should be noted when attributing Lincoln Cent DDRs that obverse markers, including mint mark location, can only be used as conformation of a correct attribution. Obverse and reverse working dies are not necessarily maintained as working pairs. 1DR-001 could have been paired with more than 1 obverse die and the obverse die shown in coppercoins could have also been paired with a reverse other than 1DR-001.

 

silent, I think you have something worth taking a shot on sending to one of these people who attribute Lincoln cents. You just might have a new one. non cents could be helpful in providing names to send it to and I think the charge is very reasonable if not nominal.

 

If you truly believe it to be a new find, then I would suggest posting it on the lincolncentresource.net forum. As of right now, the server is down, so it may be a little while before you have access.
