1970-D LINCOLN DDO?

A few weeks ago I found this at a local coin shop. The 7 clearly shows a bar above the 7 and there is a small hook on top of the 0 on the date. I am 98.5% this is a double die. Minor but at least a double die. And at .25 I can't go wrong. Does anyone have a reference to an attribution of this one?

Thanks,

    It looks like a DDO to me- there are several that year from different mints that are similar... try looking in the CONECA master variety listings.

    sumorada,
    It does look like the pic on chucks site but NONE of the die markers exist. I have included 2 pics from the reverse that look unusual. The first is the U of united looks very fat and has a triple image. This could be machine doubling. The second pic is of the designers initials which are very very weak.

    What do you all think? Not a great find but fun to monkey around with while looking for one of the big ones!!! lol

    << <i>It looks a lot like this one Here did you check the die markers on this one? >>



    Yes it looks like 1DO-003 or a similar one.
    There are probably more similar unlisted ones.

    It could be a mid or late die state which could have different markers than the EDS pictured.
