Not perfect, but fairly nice overall. 1949-S Lincoln Wheat cent Doubled Die DDO-001, FS-101 Stage A Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 2380 Posts	Posted 07/19/2019 12:00 am Coop has some interesting opinions about what is going on with these. Hopefully he'll chime in here. Think re-worked die and not a true doubled die, but it's listed as FS-101 so I will keep it as such until someone changes things. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 45140 Posts	Posted 07/19/2019 8:56 pm Years ago, when I first saw this DDO, I wondered if the San Francisco altered a 1948 die and had the last digit changed? Why Did I think that? Comparing the digits of the 1948 cents and the 1949 cents showed me what looks like that happened: Thus seeing both sets of these three digits, make me think that may have happened?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 45140 Posts	Posted 07/20/2019 7:10 pm But my question is; Why? That is what it looks like that happened. But they used to make the master die with an altered master hub. Working with changing the last digits. http://doubleddie.com/58201.html Quote: When the Janvier Reduction Lathe was introduced in 1907, the first two digits of the date began to appear on the galvano and thus on the master hubs. This was done so that the master hub could be used to make master dies over a period of several years. Starting with the Lincoln cents in 1909, the last two digits of the date were engraved into the master die for each year. Unless they had an extra die left older from the previous year and took the '8' off the die and then re-hubbed it again with the 1949 hub in order to use the die a different year. Figuring the design was closer than they thought. But it wasn't. By the middle of the 1980's the Mint started placing the last two digits of the date on the master design (galvano). New master hubs were prepared each year for each denomination. At this time the Mint also started placing the mint mark on the master design for all Commemorative and proof coins. But that die seems like they didn't follow the usual proceedure? It was like they created a die with an altered 1948 hub and a 1949 hub. They altered the '8' off the hub. But again why comes to mind? The only thing that runs through my mind is that they needed to create a die from that mint that they needed and when ahead and created one from two different hubs. (Problem: The only dies were created at the Philly mint then.) So I'm still at a loss at the question; Why? Just check it seems there were three DDOs like this, but all from the San Francisco mint.
