... won't know until I see what the doubling looks like in person. Figured I couldn't go wrong with a 100% fb seller, seven day return, and a $3.99 Buy It Now. image

1941 Lincoln DDO

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

  • Nice rip, Sean. I always liked ddo-2, seems stronger than 1.

    Coin arrived sometime over the weekend. The good news is the seller attributed the coin correctly - it is DDO #2, and a very early die state. The bad news is, the seller blew the grade. He called this coin XF... I feel there's too much mint red showing, so I call it AU55. image

    Some close-ups of the doubling courtesy of my QX3. There are strong division lines on the entire motto that didn't image well.

    I consider this five bucks well spent. image

  • Gee, too bad about the grading mistake. Always liked the way the R in TRUST looks like the Rolls Royce symbol on this die.
