The thrill of the find vs. the thrill of the hunt: on to the next roll. he hunt always wins because it is the unknown.
But a new discovery is a bigger thrill. Way to go.

UPDATE: ANACS and Mike Diamond determined it is not a DDR.  John Wexler will issue a retraction in his August 19 column in Coin World. Edited by toner

That sucks. What kind of error/variety is it? I am guessing they called them die gouges.

yes I meant DDR. They said lines were done with a stylus. Not sure what to do next. They know a lot more than I do. I did an overlay with the pic that is on the Coin World web site. If I move Lincoln over to bay 5 some of the lines match up. Move it over to the 6th pillar, more lines line up. It looks to me like the die was tilted when the hub first struck it then the die set right. They say no, so I guess not. Edited by toner

Keep it, don't throw it away whatever you do. As for them saying a stylus did it what does that mean? Is that PMD or something the mint did? |

It don't look like PMD in the photos but I guess you really can't argue with the experts. |

So, what is this "stylus PMD" and how does one produce it? Someone drew the lines on the coin and then had it re-plated? |

I don't really know. All I was told someone used a stylus to put lines on it. I made a .gif pic that toggles back and forth. In the .gif I moved Lincoln to the west one bay [5th bay]to a hi-spot that lines up with Lincolns nose. It takes a while but if you study it, its obvious the lines were not done by hand. I don't know who else to send it to. Here is the URL: http://i960.photobucket.com/albums/...-w-trans.gif |

I do notice the lines are not all in the same orientation. Which indicates they think it is die scratches. Die scratches next to devices do not fade as quickly as those in the fields. Inside the columns would prevent them from flattening as fast as those outside of the Memorial. That is the problem I notice now with this coin. I would still save it and mark it to view again later on. I'd not toss it back into circulation.

Thanks COOP.I plan on keeping it. They are not saying they are die scratches,what they say is that someone took a penny[the penny in question]and used a stylus to put the lines on it. If that was the case the lines wouldn't line up as close as they do when Lincoln is moved to the 5th bay would they? I can see you are able to take very good pics would you be willing to take a good pic of it and if so what would it cost? thanks
