sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 06/10/2020 3:59 pm The grade might be too low to make out the die markers even if it is a DDO. I included some photos of areas noted as die marker regions on Variety Vista. Thoughts? Edited by sheldius 06/11/2020 1:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

josephm99 Pillar of the Community United States 791 Posts	Posted 06/10/2020 9:36 pm Looks similar to WDDO-034 on Wexler's but the die gouge marker is missing so I don't know if it really is that one or a new listing. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/10/2020 9:43 pm Looks close to 1944D-1DO-010? You might check that one for mintmark locations: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds Report this Post to the Staff
josephm99 Pillar of the Community United States 791 Posts	Posted 06/10/2020 9:50 pm Coop the MM location for that one looks correct on his coin so it may very well be this one. Report this Post to the Staff
sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 06/11/2020 01:50 am Thanks for help Coop and josephm99. Here is the N in Cent area close, which would be a marker area for the DDO Coop mentioned. Not sure I see the crack, or even could in this shape. Also not sure if the noses of the 4's are a match. Those should survive I would think. So how would you honestly label a coin like this? Possible DDO and number of best guess? Report this Post to the Staff
josephm99 Pillar of the Community United States 791 Posts	Posted 06/11/2020 02:14 am This coin is heavily circulated so most of the markers if not all of them have worn away. Report this Post to the Staff
sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 06/11/2020 1:07 pm Opinions: So we can't prove the DDO due to wear. So is it a toss back? How to label it so others see it honestly for what it is or isn't? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/11/2020 1:39 pm I'd save it as the die number. Replace it when you get a better one. But for a premium/sale price it wouldn't bring much. Report this Post to the Staff
sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 06/11/2020 5:01 pm Thanks coop. For my peace of mind I'll put a "?" by die number on the flip. Then my karma is clear if my daughter tries to sell it in 20 years and I'm . It always feels in the moment like this will be the only DDO I find, so like the way you think (and when I get to 100's I'll be mellow about it).
