tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 03/18/2023 12:46 am Starting to think this one might be kind of common as this is not the first I've found of this die. But it's a medium strong Class II + VI die and worth a look. The full coin image of the reverse should pretty easily show the extra thickness of the class VI end of things, while I am tossing in a close up of the upper right wheat which shows the separation lines at the tips more indicative of class II. 1943-S Lincoln Wheat cent doubled die - DDR-006 Report this Post to the Staff

NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 982 Posts	Posted 03/18/2023 09:19 am Nice coin! Don't think I've ever seen a steelie, high grade or otherwise, that doesn't look wiped. Must be the color and lighting. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 03/18/2023 12:13 pm Thanks! And makecents I can see parts of my desktop at this point, but still a lot to get to. plus another 20 coins on the microscope base to get to as well. As for 1943 coins looking "wiped" if you mean the streaks visible on the reverse near the center, those are "wheel marks". Die scratches and similar show up really strongly on the zinc-coated cents, and while die scratches aren't a problem wheel marks will "details" a coin if you try to grade it.

NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 982 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 10:29 am Yes, the fine scratches at the reverse center. Wheel marks? Never heard the term. The steelies must be susceptible. Glad to hear it isn't PM because mine have the same issue. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff
