<p>[QUOTE=&quot;XanthenX, post: 3189807, member: 97195&quot;]I have been referencing the publicly available, die variety information from &quot;Variety Vista&quot; and also from Dr.Wexler&#039;s site. I must assure you that it&#039;s noted that 1983 P DDR-002/FS-802 is the same as 1983 P WDDR-003. </p><p><br /></p><p>Firstly, I must argue to the contrary on the statement that there are few collectors that delve into Lincoln Memorial cents.There are endless leagues of individuals whom collect ONLY Lincoln cents and not just those of the Wheat type reverse, as I contend that the Memorial cents are very popular with a vast number of collectors and far more resources exist than what would be expected for such a disliked sector of numismatics, to aid the hobbyist and professional numismatist alike. </p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, I am not at all a wealthy man. This being a fact I am unable to actively search and accumulate coins of higher denominations or greater value because I simply do not possess the means of which is necessary to maintain such an active and almost infinite objective. To me five dollars might mean I&#039;m completely, excuse the vernacular, screwed and can&#039;t even go anywhere for a few days because my car will be out of gas. </p><p><br /></p><p>Third; my original approach was primarily for the acquisition of a great or at least decent profit from the coins I find. Very undesirable in the commumity and looked down upon as I look mostly to sell and not collect them. Over time however, I have grown to very much appreciate the very pleasing to the eye nature of coins and I have a few set aside that I probably will never trade or sell because of my newfound love and appreciation for numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p>That all being said; there was no offense taken into consideration, for I know little, but from reading on this forum it seems that many folks don&#039;t like to deal with or even look over clad coins; which cuts out all post-1964 denominations aside from the Lincoln Cent. Now as for older U.S coins and ancient coins I am learning about them but know little of preferences taken by other collectors and numismatists.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I do know is that regarding the subject matter of this post; the public information on Variety Vista for 1983 P DDO-002/FS-802 otherwise known as 1983 P WDDR-003 on Wexler&#039;s shows no die cracks on either stage A or B and is such that there is no stage D currently listed in that reference imaging. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe if you are in touch with Dr.Wiles you can request he update his page on that die variety. Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
