Picked up this 1933-D and it really looks like a mild class 6 DDO with extra thickness and the usual bent letters in LIBERTY and pointy bits on the E in WE. Just wondering if there is any agreement with my visions of grandeur here. 1933-D Lincoln Wheat cent (cleaned) - showing class 6 DDO characteristics       |

I'd say no. Just my opinion of course.

I like your chances. I normally don't look at that many 33's but I like the look of the 9 in the date and the RU of Trust looks slightly but nicely distorted. The S of Trust has a blown highlight in the close up so I can't be sure there.
That E of We could be a bit deceptive because of the die state. It could be acting like the E of the 1924-S die 001. Very nice hook in later die states but very little distortion in its early die state.
I like it!

It does look like a little distended doubling may be going on. That's a tough one.

I'm seeing the same things as Stoneman. The tail of that 9 has some thickness, the E on WE and RU of TRUST appear to be class6, even accounting for the Die Deterioration. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

I say yes. IGWT and the 9 has extra thickness. Looks like there's more than just Die Deterioration. |

Is the right leg on the R in TRUST normal for that year? John1 |

I lean toward no given the did deterioration.

Thanks for the comments! Seems like there may be enough there to give it a go with a submission, which is in general my opinion although I have the advantage of having the coin in hand. I find that the date and LIBERTY are fairly well comparable to the coin on Coppercoins although none of the die markers match: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=eds |

Tropicalbats;
Could you share your lighting and photo capture method. Your first photo look absolutely PERFECT.

Hi Panther,
First photo is shot with a Canon S95, zoomed in two clicks, on a red post it note backdrop. The lighting is from a 60W type A halogen open bulb (not frosted) from steeply above and behind the coin with about 12 inches between the bulb and the stage. The camera angle is almost, but not quite directly over the coin. I shoot one with the coin rotated slightly clockwise and one slightly counterclockwise and then pick which one shows best the bits on the coin that are most needed to see (some angles the doubling disappears, other angles it's obvious).
