I think I've found my 1st DDO after a year of searching. (I know I'm slow ) It needs some gunk cleaning, but I don't have acetone, so what other safe methods are there? If there aren't any I will be ok.

But I think it shows extra thickness, as 1945 is known for having extra thickness DDOs.

Any comments appreciated.

I am no expert but I do not see it. Just a well circulated LWC to these eye's. Sorry.

Maybe someone else can see differently?

I see the thickness, but not the DDO. Tried matching up, but to no avail. I may need better eyes or more training.... Thanks, Doug.

Oh, ok. Thank you. But the thickness is supposed to be the DDO, right? I'm still a novice in the DDO world.

I would be interested in knowing this also..

I am sure a lot of eyes on this including me I have such a hard time with some of these DDO with extra thickness. 1945, 1941S or even the modern 1989, 2011, 2014

I would of also thought this coin was good match for http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=lds

but I have been wrong more times then right.

the only thing it doesn't have the big die dot that shows above the B in LIBERTY but then again many coins don't match all markers..

I have also been wrong more times than not. MANY times. So it's nothing new. But I hope it is.

Probably another answer that does not help any, but I say yes and no pertaining to thickness.

Thickness is an indicator, but as time passes flattening can occur from years of circulation. I have a hard time telling the difference on older coins without distinct separation or markers. Thanks, Doug.

PS: Acetone for cleaning, but don't think it will remove much of the green gunk.

I am refraining from commenting because I have been tricked by the older DDO's.

It looks like it might be 1DO-006.
