Garoyn Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 06/22/2015 10:38 pm I ignore Lincoln Shield cents when searching cent rolls. Are there any significant varieties or anything I should be looking for with Lincoln shields? Or are those varieties still undiscovered? Report this Post to the Staff

SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 06/23/2015 10:03 am The incuse devices are a little bit thinner compared to the other devices. For example, on a DDR, the ONE CENT would be a little bold while E PLURIBUS UNUM would be thin. Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 06/23/2015 10:05 am They also have die cracks near the left scroll and up into the "O" in "One Cent", and the top of the shield is a common place for die chips. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 06/23/2015 11:26 am Also the designers initials "LB" are a good focus point for DDR. Have not found any myself, but seen some posted here with well defined notching and extra thickness. Thank, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/23/2015 4:50 pm Probably the best place to look for shield varieties is coppercoins, Wexler's site and Variety Vista. Maybe knowing what to look for will increase your desire for these. Probably 99.5% of these are ho hum, but when you know what to look for often increases interest in these. (this is true for other denominations/designs. Know what to look for is key) Report this Post to the Staff
