[QUOTE="masterswimmer, post: 8120884, member: 102022"]lol, Don't worry, I'm not high tailing it out of here just yet. You've still got me ;) I totally understand the die markers matching precisely. What I'm saying is this. The coin is typically labeled as a 1970-S Lincoln Memorial Cent DDO. Meaning it's a doubled die that should be plainly visible to the person holding the coin. If you can't visually see the doubling in LIBERTY and IGWT or to a lesser extent the date, and the only way to attribute the coin as a 1970-S DDO is through the die markers, that makes for a very underwhelming example of the coins attribution. When I hear the term doubled die, I want to look at the coin and say wow! Unfortunately I can't say that about your coin. The wow factor is just not there, IMO. Others are obviously disagreeing with me. That's ok too. If I were looking to purchase a 70-S DDO I can't say I'd entertain your specimen. There are too many out there that have the wow factor where it's blatantly obvious what the error is. None of this takes away from the fact that I'm rooting for you to find that elusive error you seek. I know you're going to come back here and drop the wow factor in our laps. :)[/QUOTE]
