    Here's mine, for comparison. I'm thinking yes...BUT, due to YOUR images being huge, plus with the spots in the focal area, the lobe specifically. and mine not being 100% in focus (I was keying on the ear...my imaging skills stink), I'm going to go with 'I think it is'....though, Lincolns are my 'weak suit', so, maybe someone else with more knowledge can give you a more definitive answer.

    I'll come up with something.
  • Iffy. Without better photos, I'd have to say no.
  • What kind of pics would you need to see to make a determination?

    Larger file and of the entire coin.

    Have you checked out coppercoins? If not and since you have the coin in-hand, this may be helpful.

    You'd need to have images somewhat like mine. When I showed my above image, there was no doubt it was a '97 DDO, from go. You need 'smaller' images. Try to get them to the size like mine are, and that closeup doesn't help. The spotting on the lobe may not be as overwhelming with a smaler image....try a different angle, different lighting. I had to use a point 'n shoot, with a loupe at the lens, and was able to nail the focal area so it was clearly evident it was the DDO (with no tripod, using 2 hands to get it right AND click away without it being too blurry, which I did have more than my share of blurry images I had to delete before nailing the one above). Your images are much too big.....thats just my opinion...from a guy without the proper set-up, which you obviously have. If I can get MY shot to make it clearly obvious with what I used, I KNOW you can.... with those close-ups, you certainly can 'back it off' and get a smaller image and show the ear, probably better than mine, no doubt.
    I'll come up with something.
