I picked up a bunch of proof sets and inspected every coin and found a few things. This looks like it might be the small date over large date but I need an expert opinion.

My mistake this is a Philadelphia mint set, sorry about the picture quality my loop is pretty scratched up and the coin is still in its OGP.

Looks to be FS-101 but very confused by the pics. Are we looking at more than one coin?

After looking again, it would appear to be FS-101 that also has MD. Still confused with the pics though....

Looks like MD to me. Notice that the devices are narrowed. if it were doubling, they would be wider.

I am no expert but could it be Large date over a small date? Instead of small date over large?http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds
Others will be along that know more

That's absolutely FS-101, large date over small date! Congrats on an amazing find!

Ok sorry for the confusion its all the same coin and it IS a proof set. Its just really hard to get good pictures because the mint cello is so scratched.

Excellent find on this variety! Here is what I was referring to with the variety, plus MD. Don't know if this is a positive or negative though. The arrows are pointing to the MD.

Break it out of the plastic, give us better photos to enjoy, then send it off for grading...That's what I would do....

excellent find...Congrats

Very nice and very seldom found, congrats! That's a real tough variety.

So, how can a large date over a small date even occur? I mean wouldn't the operator have to be involved to make such an 'error'? The coin would have to be struck once with 'this die' then again with 'that die'?

congratulations on your score Moosieweed88

this is FS-101 all day long and twice on sunday

do NOT take it out of the packaging JUST to take pictures.

nice find do not risk finger prints carefully send it for grading
