drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 2:43 pm This matches best the description and position of rpm-018: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds However, the die markers do not match. I have a clean field around the Y on Liberty and no curvy lines on the jacket. However, I did find some lines near his forehead/hairline. Would this be an early die state, then?

drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 4:07 pm Thanks Jayman931. I have an old microscope that I set on widest view. I have a small point-and-shoot camera that I hold right up to the eyepiece (mounted on a tripod). I have 3X optical zoom I can use. I set the timer function and take the picture after focusing. It is a bit tricky lining everything up but I feel it is better than some digital microscope pictures I've seen. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 7:22 pm Check markers for this die 1943D-1MM-012: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds An overlay show this is the right location. A nice EDS example. The one on coppercoins took a hard hit on the mint mark. They might be interested in looking at your coin for EDS images? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 9:40 pm With the EDS it might have had the events happen to the die yet. Do you post on the LCR forum. Bob frequents there a lot. Report this Post to the Staff
