Hi All Lincoln/Cherry picker Experts-
Is this a DD0-001? Coin has great strike but odd color...very light and totally uniform. Cool little die break at 11 o'clock on reverse.
Seems to have requisite doubling on the "190" and eastern half of "Liberty"
Lastly, does this variety bring a decent premium?




NEW PICTURE

Thanks to all for taking a look!
Regards, RJ

    Looks good from here, can you get a more direct picture of the date, from straight above?

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Definitely 1909 VDB DDO FS-1101, hopefully it's just your pictures but it looks harshly cleaned. They do carry a premium if original. Uphill battle if the coin has problems.

    The Rev die crack at approx. 9:30 does show on SOME of the 1909 DDO (FS-1101). But it does appear that your is one of them. Check out the images of the variety at PCGS CoinFacts link below;

    Your first image makes the obverse look as if it has been cleaned. Yes on the DDO #1.

    Will be a tough sell with the apparent cleaning.
    Cool find though.
    Used to carry a decent premium, easy sell in 64 and up, lower grades and problem coins........(chirping crickets).

    Nice coin but is it just me or does that look "Shelf Doubling"?

    Look at the BER of Liberty. That is not shelf doubling.

    I see it, but I don't see any split serifs? Here are my missing "split serifs" to be an actual Double Die. So I know your feelings if I'm right? In which, I do hope I am wrong, for your sake. ;)



    1967 SMS Quarter. Thought to be an Double Die, but no split serifs. :'(
