So here we go again, a 1983 DDO in need of expert help. And the plating issues don't help. The clearest examples of doubling on this coin are the notches in the T and R of TRUST (and thickness on the U) along with some visible doubling on the letters themselves. Also looks like the lower right of the 8 is showing the doubling. The final image shows the odd almost circular die scratches that are very distinct on the coin and center on Lincoln's left knee. Any help really appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

May want to do more analysis. Think 8 is filled die issue. Edited by Crazyb0 03/04/2017 8:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The die polisher may have created these. On the lathe lines they are a lot more circular. Report this Post to the Staff

Look very much like die scratches so likely a polishing issue. But they seem like an obvious marker and aren't mentioned in any of the variety listings. I will give another good look at 1MM-011 and see what turns up. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
