Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 5:31 pm Found this roll searching today. Looked pretty off. Looking past the die flow, the letters look larger than what they should be. Mostly on IGWT decreasing from left to right. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 6:44 pm Tanman. I disagree with my fellows, I present this for your consideration. Note the red arrows point to specific details of letter shapes which match up exactly with your coin. NOW, 2nd pix has two yellow circles, I cannot determine if there is any die dots or die gouges here, this is MDS, yours could be EDS or another die. If so this is a 1970P-1DO-003 Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 7:05 pm Mark1959, hey youngster, notice which pix are posted above...Coppercoins listing, pix by BobP. Also took OP's pix and enlarged them/compared side-by-side on my screen to point out the similarities...now I gotta go dig out my 3 rolls of MS 1970P's to look for these! (sayin' "youngster" thinking 1959 was birth year?) Edited by Crazyb0 04/08/2017 7:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 7:28 pm Doubling looks like 1DO-003 especially on IN, but the markers are a no. A lot of die wear between the E and C. I found another discussion about a similar coin that was thought to be 1DO-003. Markers were faint so mine could be a VLDS. http://goccf.com/t/233682 I might send this to Wexler, I was going to send some coins in soon anyway. Also, thank you all for the help!

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 7:37 pm Tanman, is John Wexler still charging $5 a pop to look at a coin? Could get quite expensive if so... Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 8:02 pm $4 for one side being attributed. I have a couple right now that aren't on the site, wouldn't hurt to throw this one in. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 9:13 pm Tanman can you post some closer images of LIBE and also the 1970. I am inclined to believe that it is a DDO like Crazy B said and it could very well be that this one have a different reverse die. Did you check out 1970P-1DO-008 http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 10:40 pm Very worn there, hard to take a good pic. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 10:59 pm Well, you are right too worn to see any particular notching. I do think it is a DDO though. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 11:22 pm CoinCents, fairly sure its not 008, none of the letters match the basic shapes of Tanman's coin. Because the revers has no mid die state markers I suspect this is an earlier die state than what is mentioned at CC for the 003. No other DDO has the thickness starting on IN and thining out as it goes around, particularly on the tips of the S in TRUST. Report this Post to the Staff
