I agree that it is a DD. The split in the serif is a key indicator. All the newbie should take note.

That is 1917 DDO#1, or as listed on coppercoins.com, 1917P-1DO-001. In fine condition it should sell for close to $100.

Vaslin, I did not notice if coppercoins promoted his book "Looking through Lincoln Cents", but if you intend to spend time looking at them like I do, you should get it. It is a great source of information.

Where did you get all those rolls? ebay of course!! :D Some guy who was selling them by the pound. Unfortunately, I had them for almost a year now and didn't realize the fun of variations until last week. If you're truly interested, I'll see if I can find his name. |

No problem pattiewhack. I got them from rgment1 on his 'Truly Unsearched Very Tight Bank Wrapped Wheats 09-19!' http://cgi.ebay.com/180130827330Now, just posting the date of the coins convinces me that they were searched, but hey... at least I was able to fill in several slots of my small cent book. |

That's proof of one thing...they might have been searched, but by whom and for what? If someone is pulling out the semi-key stuff out of bags and wrapping up everything else, it's still unsearched in my opinion. There are a number of nice die varieties to be found that bring hefty premiums, especially in the earlier dates.

I have found that going to estate auctions is a great source of coins, esp. Lincoln cents. Generally the collector had looked at them for keys as coppercoins believes, but they generally have no idea about variations. I went to one last weekend and bought quite a lot and have just started going thru them. I have already found a 1934 Wash. Quarter DDO in VG+ condition. As soon as I get the camera out I will post a pic of it. Jim  |

If you are going to buy from him, this is some of the feedback that I left. It gives you a good idea of the spread of coins. The quality rarely went over Fair.
Coins were 10p,11p,14p,16pd,17pds,18pds,19pd. Good quality coins.
Coins were of 09p,10p,14p,16p,17pds,18pd,19pd. Good quality coins.
