One soo-weet doubled die - just found it!

Went to a show in Hot Springs Arkansas over the weekend and didn't find much of anything worth mentioning (other than a 1970S small date cent in BU for 20 cents), but on the way back home (a six hour drive) I stopped at an antique shop to stretch my legs and bought four overpriced rolls of memorial cents - two 1964D, a 1968D and a 1969D. Although the 1964D rolls yielded some RPMs, by very far and away, this coin was the grandest of them all.

You see, I was born in 1968, and being a Lincoln cent die variety specialist, one of my mainstay goals has always been to collect a complete set of the die varieties of my birth year. Well, given that there are fewer than two dozen of these known, I figured that would have to be a hole that would remain empty in that core section of my collection. Well, now it's full, and I'm a very proud daddy of a sweet doubled die!

Expect to see it hit the market around the middle of March...that's the second edition of Looking Through Lincoln Cents.

The photography book is in works - something I'd rather announce a bit closer to the time it will be released, looks like late Spring.
