Lincoln Cent Varieties

drwstr123 · September 16, 2006 11:42PM

Where can I find a definitive list of the die varieties accepted for the PCGS Registry? For example, the 1909 FS-012 as opposed to the FS-012.1. In addition, a listing of the die varieties that PCGS will or will not slab as such. I've posed the quest to D. Hall in a couple of differnt ways and he didn't respond. I'm inferring that that wasn't the place to ask. Maybe here is? Thanks, Mike

Thanks Stone, they are about Lincolns, not what PCGS will accept for Registrry. An example is a 1922 Weak D, MS63BN. PCGS will not accept it as an uncirculated 1922 cent in any catagory for the 1909-58 w/Varieties Set. Mike

1909-S FS-012.3 - RPM#2, "S/Horizontal S"

1936 FS-014 - DDO
1941 FS-018 AND/OR FS-018.1 - DDO (Die #'s 1 & 2)
1943-D FS-019 - D/D, RPM#1
1944-D FS-020 - D/S, OMM#1
1955 FS-021.8 - DDO
1960-D FS-025.5 - DDO+RPM#100, "Small/Large"
1969-S FS-028 - DDO

I believe PCGS's inability to list the specific FS designation may have hurt alot of people. I have had numerous email solicitations sent to me regarding the varieites that don't count (i.e. 44 D/S type II, 36 type II etc). I wonder how many people have bought the "other coin" later to find out that's not the one PCGS accepts. Any time PCGS list a variety they should note it specifically by the system in place, be it a VAM, Overton, Snow, Newcomb etc. It can't be that hard!!!

I think our point is missed. It's that, or people realize thefutility of it all. I posted 3 times on the Q&A forum and a direct email to PCGS asking for the information. None of which was answered. Mike

Mike,

I'll ALWAYS answer within a day or so. If you need the info even quicker, call me - 214-597-7055.

Thanks, you've been great (although competition) it's PCGS. If I were asking stupid questions, then point me in the right direction or just call me stupid. I rephrased the questions and zilch. Nada, nyet. nein, zero. If you ever get the urge to explain your concentration on errors, I love to listen. Thanks again, Mike
