Perhaps this will help newbies who dedicate their time to this hobby in search of the great find Lincoln Cent.
I hope this in some way may alleviate their questions regarding change finds and gives them something to
compare to all in one place.

    Great idea. Nice photos of the yes's. Now you need a couple photos of the common no's.

    Great effort! But we still need pics of the 1917 DDO-001, 1936 DDO-001, 002, and 003, 1941 DDO-001 and 002, and the 1995-D DDO-003. Images of all these are available at http://varietyvista.com but I don't know if they could be posted here.
    1944 -D D/S numbers 1 and 2 would be a nice addition, too.

    I edited the op to add the 1958 DDO Lincoln Cent. Sorry I missed it first round. Mark Feld mentioned it across the street.

    It's good you added that one. We've had a few inquiries on it here.

    I've posted pictures of a 95-D DDO before, feel free to take the pics and add them here if you want. Also have a decent picture of a 64DDR with the split serifs and notches pointed out to try to help the newer doubled die searchers.

    This can only help. At least that's what I think.

    It will help, if they see this post. On advice from Insider2, I just ordered "grading coins by photographs" by Bowers. I appreciate great reference materials. Peace Roy

    The 1964 DDR-001 is a good addition, too.

    @koynekwest
    I will work on some of these more modern ones tomorrow. The earlier dates are gargantuous in number. I kind of felt these are coins yn's could search change or bank rolls for and maybe find one. At least they will have some place to go to see them all. Hope they save this post.

    Uh, we need to post a picture of a pop out from an electrical box, corroded and run over by a truck, with the message “not a cent, not an error.” 😜

    Let's hope they use your presentation. It's very well done and it would behoove all those who think they have some of these to check there first before they post a dozen pics.
