Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3334 Posts	Posted 09/10/2015 11:36 am I found a jar of pennies hidden away in the house. It must have been filled in 1988, since there are no dates more recent. I have been finding a few interesting pennies, but nothing totally astounding. This Woody is, I think, a 1968D-1MM-009. Some of the markers are not visible, and the markers indicated are a bit worn. The overlay from this site http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=mds is used with permission.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/10/2015 5:41 pm I don't think that is the same die number. While the location is close, the spread on the RPM is much wider and a larger split on the upper serif. I applaud that you are using the overlay, but in this case it is not the same die number. I would like to see a close up of your mint mark? Not sure what is going on there. Edited by coop 09/10/2015 5:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3334 Posts	Posted 09/11/2015 09:57 am Here is another attempt. For some reason, my cheap little microscope is supposed to Zoom to 200x, but I cannot get it to do it! I am thinking this may not be the 009, I am noticing that the 8 seems to be lopsided, too.
