Fairly nice example of this small date/large date showed up in the error collection. I have always wondered why this isn't a D/D/D since while there is the obvious D well to the north, the lower serif is clearly split. 1960-D/D Lincoln Memorial cent small/large date - DDO-001, RPM-100, FS-101/501    |

Very nice! I keep hoping to pull one of these out of the stash but I can't even manage to find a RPM on the 60D's. Seems to be TPG worthy right? Edited by CoinHI

Aloha! I'm not sure yet about going the TPG route. It's probably a 64 with a slim chance of 65. Puts slabbed value at around $110 in 64, and with PCGS charging $56 per coin to grade a variety coin, that doesn't leave a lot of margin to actually be worth doing. I haven't decided yet, but I often end up submitting things like this when I'm doing a big submission anyways, since that gives me the outside chance of the higher grade, plus the option to sell it at an auction house like Great Collections without having to go the ebay route and do all the work and pay their fees. |

That's a gorgeous coin. Keep wanting to pull an UNC example out of a roll sometime but no luck yet. Never even noticed that lower split serif. Absolutely a D/D/D, very cool. Amazing find!

And an FYI on these which I've noted on CCF before. I know for a fact that a gentleman who collects varieties found a world of these in a sewn mint bag of...1960-D small date coins. So if you're hunting them, most likely they would be found in rolls of small dates not large dates.

Nice find. I think it needs to be slabbed, at the very least by ANACS. This is one coin that is on most variety collectors' lists. John1  |

Outstanding coin. Worth the $ to slab. Although, your collection grows by leaps daily. Every consider quitting your day job? KUDOS to the Batman.

Thanks folks! And quitting my day job? I don't have one, I have a night job! But yes it is tempting to just retire from the field work and long hours and time away from home and just settle in to some occasional work projects in a semi-retirement. Would give a lot more time for my coin stuff and I'd actually see my family during the summer! But probably give it a couple more years as I still enjoy being in the remote mountains all night with the bats and all the other wildlife. Today I work from noon until around 2am, which doesn't leave time for much else. Will start posting more coins when time frees up again.

Bats don't do day shifts. They like the under cover of darkness.
