Probably this: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds1963D-1DO-001 CLASS 8 (MDS) CONECA: 1-O-VIII | Crawford:CDDO-001 Wexler: WDDO-001 | FS#:1C-025.8 So far, 16 of them. All are BU, these are probably LDS since it looks like its fading out. |

On the EDS you can see the tail under the 3. Those are more valuable,  The LDS you might still see a portion of the tail.  There are two different Denver mint ones.  This is a proof one as well:  |

I'm close to 30-35 of these. Even at LDS, I can live with the prices, since they are BU, probably average MS63, a few higher. These will help recoup the costs of the rolls if I get a few more. Then whatever else is found is pure profit along with the rolls. My son, his friend and I were hitting the bag pretty good, and we are averaging maybe 1 in 100 coins or so. So If I end up with a full roll, that's awesome.
Yeah, that made my day a little bit brighter = )

Very nice find. Coppercoins mentions the price reduction for the later die states. Still a nice haul.

I don't use Coppercoins prices, and I am sure they don't use them either. I have no idea where they get their pricing from. Of course, I can live with the logic of the better the coin looks and represents itself, the more potential in price. The ole addage says - a collectible is only as valuable as the collector is willing to pay for it. I am not out to price gouge anyone, but I think of this in a logical way, and thats how I market things. A person can go out and buy roll after roll and try to pull one of these, or, simply buy one or more - or all - for a set price. I like the larger amount finds because that means the coins longevity will be there. I am in no rush to sell these, since they are not exactly easy to pick. The strange thing about this is, I have more of these DDO's than I have RPM's from the bag and rolls. Not complaining one bit, just odd to see the ratio backwards. Over a cup of coffee one morning, I will look to see if there are any subtle variety / difference between these DDO's. Edited by Collector-Corner

Repunched dates do not exist on any 20th century coin series because the dates were part of the hub design and were never punched on the working dies. |

Hate to get off topic but what type of lens do you use for those pics? Nice find(s) by the way! Wasn't aware of these.

Hflirn: Here is the link to my setup. Its the use of both cameras, depending on the magnification required. https://goccf.com/t/173936 |

It is a Class 8 Doubled Die(tilted hub doubling) For a detailed description of Class 8 doubling and other examples, read Wexler's write-up |

Thank you, that makes sense. I knew there had to be a term for it.
