stewart Pillar of the Community United States 1126 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 11:20 am I was checking a Lincoln Cent last year and it had some very distinct characteristics. I looked it up on the CONECA web site and found one matching the characteristics and it stated that there were 3 known, I am sure that there are more out there that have not been attributed yet. I am having a hard time finding pictures for comparison. I was wondering if anyone had a link some where or pictures of one they have them selves. Here is the description from the CONECA site 1957 DDR-001 Designation: 1-R-II-C Description: Strong spread on E PLURIBUS UNUM and both wheat ears and stems Grade: MS63 Population: 3 Markers: UVC-1895 DMR-008 Stage A: EDS (unconfirmed) Stage B: Small die dent at top of Left wheat -- MDS Die scratch North-Northwest from upper Right T of CENT Obverse is EMDS Stage C: Die break on stem of T of CENT -- LDS Die crack in field to the Right side of stem of T of CENT Die crack on forehead -- LDS Die crack above eye Die break above ear Reported by: Delma K. Romines And here are a few quick shots of mine still in the 2x2 Terry Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 11:32 am Looks like a normal coin from what I can see. Markers don't matter if the doubled die isn't present. here is a 1957 doubled die reverse I found a while back: Note the dot between the letters of the EPU. Egg shaped and the E PL Also thicker devices in that area. Report this Post to the Staff
stewart Pillar of the Community United States 1126 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 12:09 pm That's what I was looking for, A confirmed coin to compare it too. I can see the difference in the thickness in the "L" Yours is much thicker on the bottom horizontal bar. Thank You very much Coop You Are The Man Terry Report this Post to the Staff

stewart Pillar of the Community United States 1126 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 12:52 pm Coop, Thank You Very Much for those shots they will help tremendously for comparison when I go through the rest of them. I purchased a 57 roll a couple of years ago along with a bunch of other bank rolls and cracked the roll open and almost the entire roll are like the one photographed. in varying degrees of die crack on Lincoln's head and die chips on the reverse.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 1:22 pm Don't you just love OBW rolls. They are so nice to search through. The markers on coins can be identifed when searching so you know what dies were used in the roll. Varieties are usually more so in multiples in the roll. Sad part is that if there is nothing there, you've got a roll of BU cents. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 7:10 pm Coop hit this one right on the head... The correct direction to take things is to look for doubling on a coin, THEN try to match it to markers. Don't try learning the markers then go out trying to find a coin that matches them - you will end up doing just what you did. You found a 1957 cent that has very common markers for many different dies, but it does not exhibit the doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 08:17 am A couple of classic die cracks are on Memorial Cents a crack on column #12 for the 60's. A die crack/break on the t on Cents for the wheat cents. These happen over and over on many different dies. So the excat location helps for doe cracks & chips. Direction of the crack is very important. Report this Post to the Staff
