mahgobbi Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 01/18/2016 10:33 pm Tonight I decided to look for zincolns for the first time. I separated out the "AM" years, along with 1983 and 1984. I thought I found a 1983 DDR, but then I found another one less than 5 minutes later. Now I'm doubting that either one is what I thought it was. Can I get some opinions? Both are bright red, as seen in the first photo. I don't know how to capture color correctly under the microscope.

The DDR is shows hub doubling. http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds The strongest part affected is the ONE CENT and the EPU. EPU Die # 1 EPU die # 2 Edited by coop 01/18/2016 11:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
