All three of the 1949-S doubled dies are essentially the same thing and look alike. But the die-1 gets most of the attention as it is FS-101 and worth some money in higher grades. Die three is somewhat less common, but getting on the hard to find side. And here is DDO-002, the toughest to find in any kind of decent grade. So this is the rare one, but not worth nearly what die-1 is. The doubling is exactly the same, but this one also sports an RPM (which, inexplicably, VarietyVista calls too minor to list). 1949-S/S Lincoln Wheat cent doubled die - DDO-002, RPM 1MM-013 (WRPM-050)    |

Nice one. I was kinda nervous for a minute. Had to check mine to make sure it was ddo-001.

Hey Will, Yeah, I have never checked the photos but I suspect a fair number of FS-101 coins are mislabeled. That said, die-1 is by far the most common one found, maybe 75% of the ones I find are that die, with the rest mostly die-3 and a few die-2's.

Great info, I just checked mine and this MM is noticeably thicker.

Nice find. I still haven't come across any late 40's DDO's. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Interesting struck through debris on the reverse at 9:00. But the real money is on the varieties.

It's odd to me that this happened several times.

Thanks for great discussion. And the bit on the reverse is just a lamination flake that has separated from the rim and bit of the field but is still attached. Not a positive on a coin with nice varieties going on.
