I was looking through a purchase of 1963-D LMC rolls today trying to determine if one of the coin varieties I had was a DDO and it was.

Then I did a Double Take to see what appeared to be a RPM, mixed in with a few of the DDO's. So I hunkered down and went through another roll and didn't find anymore DDO's - mainly because I already grouped most of the DDO's into other rolls. But I went through the roll to see this RPM;

The-1963-D-LMC-RPM---Possibly-Two-!

So, I go to Coppercoins and I look for a coin that looks the same, and I don't see one that matches. Hummmm So, starting on the reverse of the coin, I don't see any common markers in the first dozen coins. So I flip the coin over and I see a Die crack on Lincoln's shoulder, and a few more, then a few more that don't have them. So, it looks like I will have 2 different varieties coming from these rolls. Here is the Die crack I am talking about. These coins are in BU condition and the diecrack leaps out at me under the scope - really shiny.

The-1963-D-LMC-RPM---Possibly-Two-!

I Looked at bosth pages of Coppercoins and none of them had the Die Crack in the above picture.

As for the other Variety I will have to scrutinize that one and see if I can find a match. I'll add the 2nd one here once I am done eating and doing a 2nd look at Coppercoins for the one listed above.

Hey ! A man's got to eat !

See what happens when you don't get a healthy meal, I miss stuff ! The very last Column has a Copper Snake on it, (trail of copper, almost drip-like) on all examples so far !

The-1963-D-LMC-RPM---Possibly-Two-!


And a SECOND pass on Coppercoins reveals NUTHIN'.... Maybe its a new variety

Looks like a nice RPM. I glanced through coppercoins & Wexler, & didn't see it. Coop or someone may come along and help you out. Also, you might want to try LCR. If it isn't listed already, it might get listed.

If the mint mark is identical then perhaps it is different die states.

I have 32 of the RPM's above.
I have Seven others that I just haven't had the time to look for markers. Most look the same.

Doc; Sure you could be right, I'll look into it and see if they have the same sort of copper snake or copper drip / die chip on the last column and take it from there - tomorrow..

An additional search through the 1963-D rolls I had, produced another nine 1963D-1DO-002, for some a total of 61 of those in hand. All are BUNC, minus one.

Overall, not a bad day for hitting varieties. I have a few I need to send to John Wexler that are possible new finds. = )

I don't see a match on coppercoins or CONECA listings. Could you take another image showing the outsides of the date and mint mark areas. Maybe Location of the mint mark will help with a match.

Your coin is a LDS example. The lines you see between the mint mark and the rim are die flow. They are not die scratches. The die is getting close to retirement. It maybe an unlisted one or a minor one that may never be listed?

Yep, I know the diffences between die scratches and die flow. I'll shoot a picture later on today. The obverse die is actually is pretty decent shape on most of these. The IGWT and LIBERTY and Date are pretty well defined.

I don't mind sending in this coin to John Wexler, I have a few others that I need to send in for clarification anyways. I have a few 1960-D and 1959-D to send in, and one or two more isn't going to hurt. This way I can show potential customers a attributed coin and a raw example to show the match. Its always nice to identify these coins with a reference if possible.
