StJoeBlues Pillar of the Community United States 573 Posts	Posted 07/12/2010 10:24 pm I was going back through some questionable Lincolns that I had set aside for another look when lo and behold, out pops a 1983P-1DO-001! My camera is unable to pick up the doubling on the motto, but I was able to isolate it on Liberty. In hand, the doubling on the motto matches the same directions as the example on coppercoins. The die clash is apparent on the reverse, as well as the weakness in column 4. Anyone care to offer a grade? Report this Post to the Staff

Darth Anarchus Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 07/13/2010 07:28 am I would say AU-53... It lookslike the reverse has been scratched or cleaned in some way... And I'm not too sure what is goin on above the date on the field... But of course that is IMHO... Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 07/13/2010 07:32 am well, there is some slight corrosion on the reverse so I'm gonna say EF-45. although it may make AU-53 Report this Post to the Staff
StJoeBlues Pillar of the Community United States 573 Posts	Posted 07/13/2010 12:50 pm DA - The reverse has some wicked polishing marks from a large clash and the front is full of those "pimples" that are prevalent in early Zincolns. Other than the gash on Abe's nose, most of the large marks are from the mint. Adam - I'll have to check on the corrosion when I get home from work. I think it was just staining.
