Message:: [QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1876267, member: 13307"]You know, it's not often that I will completely forget about finding a Proof 1970 S Small Date Lincoln in an original set for $6: [ATTACH=full]317251[/ATTACH] But that just happened. Why?  Because as I was checking out the other sets I bought, I noticed something I hadn't seen before on a proof Lincoln Cent: [ATTACH=full]317253[/ATTACH] I saw what looked like scratches on old Abe's beard, and there was something different about his bow tie.  I turned the coin over and noticed some unfamiliar lines on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.  [ATTACH=full]317252[/ATTACH] I have to be honest, I'd never seen this on a proof Lincoln before.  So, I asked my friend Google. [ATTACH=full]317256[/ATTACH] If I am correct, this is the ODV-028, paired with the RDV-008. [ATTACH=full]317255[/ATTACH] Variety Vista describes it as "Very Rare" (it's in RED colored font!)  While I'm not sure of a value for the coin, or a more precise approximate value, I am pretty sure it's the -028/-008 combo.  [ATTACH=full]317254[/ATTACH] What do you think?  Do you agree with me?  Disagree?  Have some more information to share?  I did my best to take some good photos - which is different from other threads I've found on this variety.  There are pictures - so it DID happen.  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
