CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 03/26/2016 3:59 pm Thank you all so much, these last few days have been great. Sudz - this was actually one of the discovery pieces that you sent me. I have looked at them so many times and didn't see anything, except what I thought was smooched letters and then last night when looking again boom I see it - like a little miracle - the elongated dots the thickened wheat ear stems - I just couldn't believe it - like I had a new pair of eyes. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 03/26/2016 5:14 pm Here are some pictures as requested coop. I have not been able to match any markers yet, but I will keep at it. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/26/2016 6:45 pm I'm not seeing a match on the ones from coppercoins. I noticed the area under the jaw is strong, compared with some listed on CC, the dies were showing a lot more wear, thus the lack of die scratches and cracks. I just noticed on the last image that the olive branches are wider on the right side than the left. But nothing that is a visible marker. 001 and 004 have the thinner UNUM like your coin. You coin just keeps it's secrets, secret. Report this Post to the Staff
BlueSolo Pillar of the Community United States 740 Posts	Posted 03/26/2016 7:18 pm I still stand with 1939P-1DR-005 http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=mds Right wheat thicker than left as Coop mentioned (are olives involved? I thought they were wheat cents for a reason :P). Thick doubling on EPU, extra thickness at the bottom of the 'E' in "AMERICA" Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/26/2016 7:32 pm Certainly seems to be a DDR, just a question as to which one. A nice DDR find. Congratulations CC. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/26/2016 7:50 pm I guess I ruled 005 out as not being that as the bottom loops of the UNUM looked thicker than what I saw on the OP's coin. Olive leaves. Don't know where that came from? The right wheat stem is the wider one. (When the doubled die have mint marks, it makes it a lot easier to identify them) Find the correct mint mark location is the best clue if it is a match to that die or not. Without, leaves us in the dark. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 03/26/2016 10:27 pm I looked again, and there are no die scratches to be found, too worn. From what you all pointed out with the letters/devices thicknesses I now know I need to pay attention to all of it. This being my first time around with DD's I have a whole lot more of learning to do in trying to identify them. thanks again for all your efforts. Report this Post to the Staff
