***************************************************************
The results are back from John Wexler. It is a new variety!

Details are here!

I found a couple of these while searching rolls for high grade coins to submit to PCGS.

Is this an error coin, double die, or just struck from an old die?

Overview of obverse:


Angle 1 of "T":


Angle 2 of "T":


Angle 3 of "T":


Angle 1 of "Y":


Angle 2 of "Y":


Angle 3 of "Y":


Sorry for the quality of the images but this is the best I could get them to scan.

I dunno. Anyone?

No clue.

Nice pics, though.

Looks like strike doubling to me

Go check out Chuck's site at coppercoins.com, It looks an awful lot like his pics of a 1944P 1DO-001. Is there any doubling on the date?

sumdunce

It is similiar to the 1944P 1DO-001 but the example does not have the doubling on the last T in trust. Also the reverse die characteristics do not match.

I checked the date carefully and it does not 100% match the 1944P 1DO-001 characteristics either but there is doubling of the serifs on the grounded (bottom backside) point of the first four and doubling on the forward points of both fours.

Is there someone to contact to find out if these are discovery pieces? Should I send them to ANACS with attribution research selected (would they confirm discovery)?

Am I wasting my time on an insignificant DDO variety?

JRocco

Go to the forum on coppercoins.com and post the pics with your question on the forum, Chuck as well as many other Lincoln variety guys would love to take a look at your coin for you.

I noticed that coppercoins.com has an attribution service.

I am thinking about sending in the five coins I found like this and having them given an official attribute.

If you are going to pay for atribution send it to John Wexler. He is THE MAN, only $3 as well. Of course you could just send it to ANCS and for $5 they will attribute it.

Thanks Clackamas.

I sent them today to Mr. Wexler.

sumdunce

How long does attribution usually take?

sumdunce

For anyone who may have wondered whatever happened to the coins.

Also, this is my 300th post

WOW a new Doubled Die. That is awesome. I have only found 1 new doubled die variety. It was a 38-P Jefferson. Way COOL!! I want one!

Updating this thread too incase anyone is following this one and not the other.

Found out today from John Wexler that my little babies will be in Coin World on 20 June in the Varieties Notebook column.
