sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 09/11/2021 12:49 am Starting to clean up the coins on my desk I set aside from latest Wheat cent bag to take photo's of or verify. Looks like a Class VI DDR - Copper Coins only has one listed. Wear would make id tough anyway. https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=mds Report this Post to the Staff

CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 09/11/2021 02:31 am Excellent find. Finding varieties on an uncirculated coin is exciting [and easy] enough but, being able to spot something like this on worn coins is truly an accomplishment -- I love to see it. Just went through a sizable lot of 29's myself and didn't find one. Edited by CentSation 09/11/2021 02:33 am Report this Post to the Staff
Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 09/11/2021 03:46 am Obviously it is an extremely worn Linc.... But, the egg shaped dots on the reverse and the distorted bottom of the U's in the motto pretty much are a telltale sign of this being a DDR. Even though it is a worn out Cent, great study on your part to see this despite the condition of the coin! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/11/2021 09:08 am Coppercoins has a listing of a DDR: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds It looks similar to this one, but not mentioned as a match. But the dots are a lot larger on the than this coin? So I'm not convinced on this one as being a DDR. It looks more like circulation flattening from what I can see. Still checking yet though. Added: Wexler show two DDR's: http://doubleddie.com/792260.html The WDDR-002 is a lot stronger. Quote: 1929 1¢ WDDR-002 "Best Of" Variety Description: Very strong Class VI extra thickness shows on all of the letters of EPU, both dots, both wheat ears, both wheat stems, and the top of the letters in ONE. Die Markers: Obverse: A die scratch runs north to south to the right of the vertical bar of the L in LIBERTY. A die scratch runs north to south inside the upper R of LIBERTY. Reverse: A short die gouge runs SSW from the lower left C in AMERICA. He mentions a die scratch on the 'L' on Liberty. Coppercoins doesn't show any markers as well a V.V. On Wexler's WDDR-001, he has no markers for that die. Also mentions the exmple's condition no this one also. Here is a side by side of all of these dies, to see them in one view: The best to look is to put them side by side. Edited by coop 09/11/2021 10:03 am Report this Post to the Staff

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 09/11/2021 11:01 am Thanks for the very detailed help COOP. I was thinking that with the wear it wouldn't be possible at all. Report this Post to the Staff
