johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 12/04/2008 10:22 pm Here is a recent purchase that I bought at about 22-d F price. I'm trying to figure out if it is a weak d variety. It's definitely weakly struck with a weak d, but I'm having a hard time with the variety. It is very similar to a die 1 on the obverse, except it is missing the appropriate die crack on the reverse. It appears to be missing the sharp line underneath Lincoln's bust, and that is a characteristic of die 4. I don't know enough about the die characteristics of a 4 though to identify it any further. What do you guys think? Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 12/05/2008 10:50 pm anyone? do I need better photos? I know its not die 1-3, but I wish I had some good die 4 cents photos to compare it with. It really looks like it would fit in with the other weak d's, but I'm at a loss with the diagnostics.

bqcoins Valued Member United States 167 Posts	Posted 12/10/2008 01:44 am It is by far the earliest die state I've seen on a Die pair 4. See the merging of lincoln with the rim, and the fact that the 2nd 2 is clearer than the first instead of vice versa on the die pr 1 and that there is no die crack. Pretty much sealed the deal for me. Great weak d though Report this Post to the Staff

I see die 1-3 all over the place, but really don't know jack about this variety. Report this Post to the Staff

Dronmon New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 01/08/2009 7:10 pm According to Lincoln Cent Resource, you DO have an early Die #1 (that is why there is no Die crack). The second 2 in the date is clear but still weak. The tell tale though is that the T-U-T of TRUTH is very bold. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19964 Posts	Posted 01/08/2009 7:43 pm That has to be a die pair 1 IMO. I own a die pair 4 no D it doesn't have near the detail of this coin. Also the second 2 is extremely weak in die pair 4, yours is very strong. I have to use magnification and tilt the coin just right to even make out the second 2 on my coin it's so weak. I think what you have is a die pair 1, weak D. It's a solid VF coin (nice separation between the cheek and jaw). Lincoln Cent Lover!
