I came across this guy today. Has a bit of what appears to be a double eye lid, as well as another identifier between In and GOD. I'll post several pictures below. To me this appears to be possibly a late strike of the 1940P-1DO-030 as seen here [ur] http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...e_state=mdsl[/url]. The images were taken from several different angles as these are scans and light plays a part in what you see. So I scanned the coin from several angles to show that the eyelid if visible every angle, as well as the 2nd and third anomalies coinciding with the 1DO-030, however, they appear to be a bit lower on the die. I'm no expert which is why I come here for advice.     FULL COIN  No the coin is not silverish tone, I used a color filter to show the details better. Edited by Drav3n

There does appear to be something different about the eyelid on your coin but I can't tell what exactly based on your scan.

I'll try to get a couple other photos up. I'll do what I can to clean them up or make them better.

You had me curious about the double eye lid but I think you must be staring  at the coin to much in regards to the triple/quad (I could be wrong)...I think the "triple" is the lower eye lid and the quad is just the bottom of the lower eye lid. Also there are alot of dings and nicks that might be distracting. You might have a winner on the double. But I don't collect this variety so I am no expert. Edited by Jayman931

The only reason I even marked/mentioned the quad was due to the 3rd image from my initial post. You see 3 distinct glares, which (in a way) coincide with the 030 variation. I think I have some sort of double eye lid. I won't go as far as to say I have the 1DO-030 of this date but I am satisfied with the mere fact that using shoddy equipment, my eyes caught this little niche. I have only been at this for a couple of weeks now. You should see how bad the images I scan can get. Some of them have the 3D effect around the rim of the banner because the letters are raised and it picks up the glare from the backside of the raised image. It's a B* to look through, but I have a theory that if I find a true doubled die, that it won't matter how much glare there is, it will just be so noticeable. At least I hope it is! lol But thank you for your opinion. I need as many as I can get, as that is the only way for me to see different points of view and determine, in my own mind and with my own reasoning, what would be the most logical answer/choice/decision, depending on the situation of course.

You mentioned it could be 1940P-1DO-030. Did you check the other markers - like the 4 on the date? To my eyes it doesn't look the same as 1DO-030, but could be something. I agree with Jayman931 that this coin has a lot of hits and it's hard to sort it out.

The only other indicator that I could find possibly still present is the indicator between IN and GOD. See the fourth image from the original post, and compare it to the indicator from the 030... Same positioning and design of the indicator as listed on CC heres link http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds . But it is vague. Edited by Drav3n

Just a lot of damage, toss it and look for something identifiable.
