Comfort Numb Valued Member United States 126 Posts	Posted 10/11/2020 9:37 pm Hello I found a 1972 Lincoln DDO, but with so many types I am not sure which one I have. Can someone help me please. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/11/2020 9:54 pm I'm looking for some later die state examples of this die. The die state is not the two that I have images of already. Note on the this one, the angle die scratches are gone on the OP's coin. Report this Post to the Staff
josephm99 Pillar of the Community United States 791 Posts	Posted 10/12/2020 12:13 am Tough call on this one. I actually now think it's DDO-008 as the tail is thicker. However, it looks like there is a bulge on the tail of the 2. Edited by josephm99 10/12/2020 12:15 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/13/2020 11:34 am Did you note the differences on the 'U' on TRUST on the images with the 003 and 008? The 003 has the devices shorter than 008 and the 003 had the bulge on the '9'. Report this Post to the Staff
josephm99 Pillar of the Community United States 791 Posts	Posted 10/13/2020 12:55 pm I guess it is the DDO-003 then. A lot of markers are completely worn away. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/13/2020 2:34 pm True. That is why we determine the spread of the hubbing of each of the dies, rather than looking for missing markers. Some markers may have happened before/after a coin is struck by the dies. But the spread will remain the same. The die will show more wear as the die ages. But that is true for all dies. Report this Post to the Staff
Comfort Numb Valued Member United States 126 Posts	Posted 10/13/2020 3:59 pm So the winner is DDO-003? I appreciate it everyone that's why I put it on here. It's just too hard for us novices to be sure. I leave it to the pro's. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 10/13/2020 4:21 pm Awesome find! Looks like DDO-003 to me as well. Certainly a neat find! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 10/14/2020 01:09 am Awesome coin. DDO-003. The best way to tell is the little hump on the tail of the 2 as Coop said. Report this Post to the Staff
