chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 09/30/2008 11:50 pm Found tonight roll searching. Is this a 1999P 1DR-003 class 9 (MDS) I'm not familiar with "Wavy Step" coins at all. Here are pics including what I think is a match with the MDS die stage from Coppercoins site (Chuck) if this is a 99P 1 DR-003 etc. **The picture of what seems to be a die gouge off of column 12, I can't match that with anything and I tried to see if it would break, ( possible gas bubble) but it would not burst.

No disrespect to Charles, but you have to check out Mr. Neffs new site. Awsome. https://www.traildies.com. By the way, Charles site even got rave revues on Vamworld. Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 08:20 am MorgansRmine: Thanks. I checked out both BJ's & Chuck's sites. It seems like a match, except for that die scratch/gouge by Column 12. I'll wait for the "BIG GUNS" (BJ ,Chuck, Bill-AKA FIR, Coop etc. ) for their confirmation. Thanks again Chuck.

BJ Neff Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 09:53 am Yes, that is the big one; 1999P-1DER-015WST. Yours is a Stage "C" since it does not have the new obverse die. Also, if you will look at the EPU and I think that you will see trail lines from the bottom of the letters. As far as count goes, this is the fifth to be found and none in an earlier die state than Stage "C". By the looks of it, your coin is probably the one in the best condition. Great find and congratulations. BJ Neff Report this Post to the Staff

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 12:42 pm Thanks BJ & Chuck! Here are a few more pics of the obverse with the wart on Lincoln's nose, and E Pluribus Unum/ ED on the Rev. Thanks again for the confirmation Chuck. Report this Post to the Staff
BJ Neff Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 5:12 pm Chuckster - looking at the obverse of your coin, it is a stage that I have not seen. This may have accounted for the changing of the obverse die. If I may, I would like to copy your image of the "wart" on Lincoln's nose, making that Stage "D and Stage "E" would be the new obverse die. Also, if you will give me your name (use the e-mail on my site), I will credit you with the picture and the find. This die is important enough that all the information that can be gathered on it should be made known. Thanks, BJ Neff Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 10/03/2008 01:01 am The coin has been officially listed and classified by BJ Neff as a Stage D Obverse on his Wavy Steps/Trails site, wwwtraildies.com It is the first one found so far at that stage with the wart on Lincoln's nose. Thank you Mr Neff for all your help and also for the recognition! Chuck. Report this Post to the Staff
