Hello - this 1983 D Lincoln appears to be the DDO FS 101. I see the die marker crack in the hairline that’s listed on the variety vista site but wanted to get your thoughts and if it does turn out to be the DDO may I have your opinions on a possible grade. Thanks for taking a look.

I see a Lincoln cent that is worth one cent. If you have wonder about it, it is not worth bothering with.
No good. Try buying a few ANACS slabbed minor varieties on the cheap to study under magnification. It will help in your searches.

I see the doubling in your images of the date, and it appears similar to DDO-001 FS-101.
HOWEVER The die crack and ear don't match up, which preclude it from being that variety. The CONECA website has instructions for submitting suspected varieties to James Wiles for attribution. It might be worth the cost (which isn't that high) to send it to him for his opinion.
I think I see some doubling.
Successful BST deals with mustangt and jesbroken. Now EVERYTHING is for sale.
Thanks all for taking a look. I will check out CONECA/James wiles site. Appreciate you!
Just an FYI James is no longer involved in the identification and authentication for CONECA anymore.

Having a cracked skull is common on Lincoln cents. And while it can be used as a die marker, it must be used along with all the other markers listed on variety web sites and publications to id a given variety. That said, determining varieties is a hot mess when you’re starting out. There are so many things to understand like how a cent is even made that helps you understand what you have or don’t have in your hand. The second problem is that all the aides are basically incomplete. I say this because while we are fortunate to have the resources and the willingness of so many collectors to set up web pages and print books, it would be impossible to cover ALL the die stages, anomalies and such over a wide range of die wear and more importantly, circulation wear. Like most varieties – they are easy to see on mint state coins – not so much on VG coins. How I got around this is by simply making my own reference library of pictures. Be they photographed from books, web pages, auction sites, - or where ever you can get a good shot of a KNOWN specimen. Use your own filing/naming system to be able to retrieve them later for comparison. I would also encourage you to visit the Lincoln Cent Resource.com – very knowledgeable Lincoln cent variety experts can be found there. And if you have not discovered Coppercoins.com. that’s another good resource. You need everyone of these to pursue variety collecting.
