Omg - 1939 LWC DDR - Do I Have It?

Looks like it could be. The dots look elongated and the bottoms of the U look heavy. Worn coins can take on that appearance, but this looks promising Sandy.

Are you thinking: http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=mds
?

I'd say it looks like that one. It's hard to see what the dots on your coin look like (on the EPU). If they are ovals, I think you've got it!

Thanks for checking it out for me :). You told me many many times to hang in there, keep reading the posts and not to get discouraged.

Well, I hope it's working - I read a ton on here but not just posts, but also going through the glossary and looking at the other groups finds. It is really a fascinating and fun hobby.

I tried a few times looking at nickels but, I have only found die chips on 2 of the nickels and that was just in the last day. Nickels are very difficult because it seems (to me) like all of the print is so thick. Kudos to you for being able to do it :)

Tough, I don't suppose you can see a die crack on the right wheat ear or above the designer initials on the obverse, as in the pictures on Wexler's?
These get so tricky when they have circulation hiding markers. Check out Coppercoins.com for this year as well by the way, it has some that aren't listed on Wexler's. I do think you have a DDR though

Awesome . Is it always so difficult matching them up?

I am going see what I can find as far as markers go. I won't be able to pickup on the die scratches - My USB gets too pixelated zooming in that close.

The important thing is that I have found a DDR

Thank you Doug,
I know it is amazing what knowledge is wrapped up in this forum. I have been reading all along, except when I am going back a re-reading after being with the forum for a few months now - I have discovered that I am actually starting to understand what they are saying and teaching . I still have not been able to wrap my head around the Classes of DD's.

Besides a couple of the Homestead doubled windows this I consider to be my first true DDR and only a couple of days ago did I get my first DDO. It feels so great, and what the members here have had to endure with all my posts turning out to be MD and worn die - they are really great for sticking with me.

I know this is just the beginning for me now and I am looking forward to learning more, understanding more, and finding more.

By the way congrats on getting to your 500 post

Thanks
Sandy

Congrats CC!

You might check for markers like die cracks on the obverse die.

The devices on the EPU have some that are very thin. This die shows it like your coin. But more markers would nice to find as a match. 2-3 strong matches might help ID the die your coin came from. (remember die pairs may have one die replaced, so the obverse markers may not be on your coin if this happened. I would like to see some nicer images because is a very interesting coin.
