<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zzyzzyth, post: 825274, member: 21495&quot;]bhp3rd, here&#039;s one post where there was no replies until I said &quot;alrighty then&quot;.&nbsp; Even then all I got was &quot;Don&#039;t leave it too long&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even to my untrained eye I can see something going on with Lincoln&#039;s eye area.&nbsp; Maybe it&#039;s nothing, but it doesn&#039;t look like the typical MD that I&#039;m used to seeing.&nbsp; I thought die deterioration at first, but thought maybe the rest of the strike on the coin may have offset that assumption.&nbsp; I assume die deterioration can be isolated to a particular part of a coin, but every one I&#039;ve seen so far in my short-lived collecting career has evenly distributed throughout the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t link to any known varieties, because I can&#039;t find any for a 1999D.&nbsp; All I can find are DDR&#039;s, so I have nothing to compare it to.&nbsp; At least not at coppercoins etc.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a cherrypicker&#039;s guide as of yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was hoping the trained eyes would say &quot;It&#039;s (insert diagnosis here), go ahead and practice&quot;.&nbsp; Or &quot;wait! don&#039;t ruin the coin yet!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a copy of the Margolis/Weinberg Encyclopedia on it&#039;s way and I will bury my nose in it when it arrives, and maybe I will stop asking so many dumb questions and leave you guys alone.&nbsp; Until then, I just want to be sure I know what I&#039;m looking at.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
