Hello Folks, I finally got around to taking pictures of a few Lincoln Cents that set aside and I think they are all errors. Please let me know what you think. I have the Cherry Pickers Guide that I used to compare my coins too. I think this one is a 1951-D over mintmark D/S Coneca: OMM-001    I think this one is the 1951-D over mintmark D/S Coneca: OMM-002   I think this one looks like a 1953-D repunched mintmark Coneca: RPM-001   This one looks like a 1954-D with doubling on the date and mintmark but it wasn't in the CherryPickers Guide.    Does this look like a 1955-D DDOConeca: 1-0-IV+VIII variety ?   These last 2 1955-D lincolns weren't listed in the CherryPickers Guide either but One appears to have doubling alond the top of the first "5" in the year and the other had a filled "9" in the date.    Let me know what you all think. I have about $50 in wheat cents I finally sorted out and these are the ones I picked out as possible errors/variety coins. Thanks, Jon |

The 1955D is a doubled die and looks good for the 1955D-1DO-001 which is the same as 1-0-IV+VIII . Great find.

Most are RPMs. A coupe shots of chipped dies and one doubled eye.

The 1954 D and the second 1955 D are common Machine Doubling. MD for short.It happens when one of the dies shift as they separate. |

Thanks for all the replies. Glad I was correct on picking out all these coins that I thought had errors or doubling. Can anyone give me input on the two 1951-D cents that I posted. When comparing them to the CherryPickers Guide, they look like they are the D/S over mintmark variety. Please let me know what you think. |

Ok, so the first one definitely looks like the 1951D-1OM-001 D/S WEST variety. What do you think about the second one I posted? Do you think it looks like the 1951D-1OM-002 D/S SOUTH variety or does it look like one of the other varieties on that page? I'll post this pics in this reply too so it's easier to see which one's I'm talking about. Please let me know what you think they are. Thanks !!   |

I thought the first one was a possibility. Have you checked for the markers?
The second is very doubtful.

I'm not good at circulated coins, and would like closer photos. Here are photos with markers for 1951D-1OM-001. Next time one coin at a time please   A very thin die crack runs E-W between the lower part of the 5 and 1 of the date.  A heavy die crack runs across the head.  A die crack shows above the VDB on the shoulder.  A heavy die chip shows on the lower right part of the upright of the T of CENT.  A blob die break shows on the upper left part of the E of ONE.  Old die scratches below the rim and over UNUM and the right wheat tip.  |

Thanks for the reply and additional photo's. I just figured out that there are additional photo's for each variety at the coppercoins link that was posted. Looks like I'll have to get the coins back out over the weekend and take a better look at all the other areas as well to see what I have.
Can I ask what you used to take such great close up pics of your coin? I just have a cheap USB microscope and the pics above are as close as I can zoom in on the coins. I would really like to get a better digital microscope that can zoom in even closer and take better pictures. Any recommendations ?

That is definately an 1953 D rpm 1. The D being COMPLETELY under the "5" is the diagnostic. There is another, much less dramatic RPM where the "D" is close to the "5", but still not quite there.
