I think it is. I have even seen them with two bars that are a little on angle. John1  |

Hi John - thanks for stopping by...I assumed you had a few from this date and could comment. I think I'll have to go back over the rolls where I ignored the 2005s. These three popped up pretty close to each other (perhaps over 5 rolls). Given their condition, it makes it worthwhile.
Are you sitting on some that don't line up with Coppercoins for this date?

They are doubled dies. Although very minor, they are caused when the hub starts to squeeze and the die/hub is slightly out of alignment, but snaps into the proper position. The movement is recorded in that area and the rest of the design is removed. The mark from a column on the hub is left because it is set into an area that is set deeper than the fields should be. (This happens a lot on the columns bays and sometimes on the EPU. But mostly on the central areas the single squeeze dies.

Minnesota extra trees
Fort McHenry fireworks, flag or windows.

Hi Coop - thanks for the explanation. I was wondering what contributed to this effect. I don't normally check for these, but this lot of CWRs is low on LWCs but chock full of uncirculated dates (2005 being one of them). So, I'm entertaining myself with these varieties.
Thanks again folks! I'll post any others I might find for the balance of the lot.

I thought it was too rack-I found a couple these that were-one I know was confirmed by coop and looked very similar just different size-I got to check the years tomorrow to see if one is the 2005...looks very similar from what I remember...

Seems that this date offers collectors ample opportunity for discovery. That's fun! Thanks for the input folks. I suspect I'll be flipping this date going forward even if they are minor. It seems the estimated retail on MS coins warrants it even if you can only get a third of the value to the right buyer. Happy hunting folks!

I thin coppercoins have realized that there are so many, that they only list the stronger ones and interesting ones.   Abe sitting on the steps. |

That is an interesting one! It really does appear as if he is on a bench or the steps.

I think I read that the bar on the column needs to be at least as long as Lincolns arm to be keepable. John1 |

That could make sense if there are tons of variants (which seems to be the case). It could become unwieldy otherwise sort of like the numbers of D RPMS in the early 60s.
Around 10 more rolls to go through, so still a few more chances to find one that's established at Coppercoins.

The length mentioned was the original requirement for coppercoins. But I think they have extended it a bit after they've experienced a lot more than they anticipated for this variety. (I remember Bob mentioning he had rolls of these that are not listed yet.)
