fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3674 Posts	Posted 09/21/2025 5:17 pm Take a close look at your coin. There's a slight chance that it might be a late die state of 1934 DDO-004 / 1-DO-002 / WDDO-006. Or the things I'm seeing might just be well-placed circulation hits. It's at least worth a peek.

Dearborn Moderator United States 98746 Posts	Posted 09/23/2025 9:31 pm Well, here is that 1913-S Lincoln Cent I got in change. I got it in tandem with a 1955 Cent as well (but that one is unremarkable) the 55 looks like it was taken from an old Whitman folder as it has scotch tape marks on the obverse, like it was being held in. (and that would only would have been done decades ago because now-a-days we know better. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
