Moonshine Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 02/23/2009 07:50 am Hi, This 72 is worn and hard to tell for sure, But I'm thinking maybe a DD, Possible 1do-002 or 003? Thank's Moonshine Report this Post to the Staff

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5611 Posts	Posted 02/23/2009 08:29 am Moonshine, Hello, I do believe that while this coin is worn, the "notches" on the word " IN " are a dead give a way for a doubled die, which one would be hard for me to judge being very worn and the fact that there are 8-11 different varieties of this DDO. Maybe some more talent will be able to help confirm or pinpoint this for you, good luck, Mike... possible # 3 or 8? Report this Post to the Staff
gettingbrowned Valued Member United States 259 Posts	Posted 02/23/2009 08:40 am Definitely a doubled die... too worn for me to be able to identify which exactly. Congrats on the find! Report this Post to the Staff
Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 02/23/2009 09:10 am Positive it is a DDO. I will be interested in hearing from Chuck. It seems that there is nice devise spread indicating DD. don't have his book to study right now but something seems interesting. Above the horizontal leg of "2", there appears to be the doubling . From memory, that is die nine, 1do-009, I think. However, I don't think there is suppose to be any other doubling as this coin seems to indicate. Anxious to hear from coppercoins. Jim Great find.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/24/2009 10:11 pm You might check the markers for this die: http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=mds See if any of the markers match. From your images I think I can see a dot above the last T in TRUST. Also check WE to see the spread there. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._003_008.jpg 3 & 8 are similar, but note the differences between the WE & The top of the 9's on both and bottoms of the S on TRUST. They are different from these two dies. It appears the die is in late/VLDS die state and the look looses it crispness at that point and get mushy. Report this Post to the Staff
