<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinage 10, post: 418894, member: 6399&quot;]<font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">I’m sure some of you out there are aware of the recent discovery – a major DDR Lincoln Cent was discovered in late 2007. The doubling is very dramatic; in fact it rivals the 1983 DDR. The coin, a 1982 small date zinc cent was completely unknown to me until yesterday, when I read a request for anyone that might donate the coin temporarily for photographic purposes. What shocked me most was this coin at the higher grades was listed at around $11,000, and it left me puzzled. </font></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">I started looking for a small date 1982 zinc cent, and found one among some mixed coins I had sitting around. Incredibly, this one coin – the only one I inspected – was the coveted DDR, showing doubling within the pillars, on “E Pluribus Unum”, and around most of the perimeter. Believe me; it leaves nothing to the imagination. Thinking it couldn’t be that rare, I starting searching for any relative information. Luckily, an article written by Ken Potter in Feb. 2008 mentioned there were only 2 known specimens. The photo was an exact match of the coin I’d found. The 2nd coin was found after inspecting around 20 rolls of 1982 small date zinc cents. <b>The article can be found at Numismaster.com.

I’ll try to get some images to supply later, sorry I haven’t taken any yet.</font></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">Thanks, A.J.</font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
