does your "TRUST" hugeeyes like this ? ..... TY CLIFF :trophy: YVW. It couldn't have been placed in better hands. And thank you Paul for sharing your very professional experience and all you do to promote the hobby (and of course the pair of FE mules you sent. I've been "plowing"...

PetesPockets55

Thanks for the images but I have to agree with Paul. Let us know what you are referring to.

PetesPockets55

Really nice one if it is.

It is so congress can pat themselves on the back and say they finally got some legislation passed.
Almost sounds like the the Commemorative half dollar craze of the early to mid 1900's. People got tired of them also.

PetesPockets55

Welcome and thank you for the nice images and including an image of the obverse and reverse. The 1956 appears to be an error coin. I believe it was a defective planchet, specifically a large lamination before the strike. A lamination occurs when part of the metal falls off the coin because of defec...

:eureka:
i found a site where anyone can 'submit designs' to be considered for these type coins .....

Thanks, that is Interesting. Did you include a link I'm missing?

PetesPockets55

Welcome and interesting coin.
I think the weight helps determine the source of the anomaly by ruling out acid or other caustic substance eating away at the obverse.

PetesPockets55

OK. Images, plural, multiple, real question to help? A triplicate post. (So here is my response again so it doesn't get missed. You've been here long enough to know the correct protocol for posting questions.) This type of "question" is not helpful but is frustrating. I commend you for tr...

:welcome: 'color' can be "ALTERED" in many, many different ways, ... sometimes just by what it was stored next to..... :eureka: keep in mind, the 'philly mint' , for these LC's uses NO "mint-mark" on their coins. I agree with Paul and will add that you must live west of the Miss...

PetesPockets55

Thanks for the additional images. But I can't really tell about the B.
LIBERTY is definitely interesting though from a DDO standpoint.

PetesPockets55

I agree but it does appear to have some thickness to LIBERTY (left side of Y appears thicker than the right) and possibly on the date indicative of a doubled die . Can you post images of both sides of the coin and try to reduce the glare (very difficult with shiny ones). Here is the link to doubled...

PetesPockets55

Welcome.
That's another LD. You can tell by the shape of the 2. Also compare the distance from the rim to the 2.

Welcome to this forum.

PetesPockets55

Curious if they could check it by weighing something against a known weight. For instance a Lincoln wheat cent weighs 3.1 grams. If he weighed a number of them and they were 3.1 grams would that qualify? :eureka: "scales" usually include 2 'weights' for checking/calibrating the unit.... h...

PetesPockets55

Very interesting.
The information states the spherical ball used in the tests is 1/16". But the examples images appear to be larger than this. Wonder why the discrepancy? Did I misinterpret something?

PetesPockets55

Welcome! I admire your tenacity for collecting so long. Haven't heard of that registry before but it sounds like they could be obtainable if it includes the one you posted. I started about 50 years ago but took a 40 year hiatus and returned in 2013. Varieties and mint errors hold my interest, mostl...

PetesPockets55

Interesting. A few questions come to mind. :confused:
1)?? Why would this be considered an error?
2)Normal MD on a proof isn't considered an error, is it?
3)Is it because it is on a proof coin which is supposed to be free of flaws?
Thanks in advance for the heads up and any insight.

PetesPockets55

Welcome!!!
From what I can see, IBE looks to be MD (Mechanical/Machine doubling) on the right side of the devices.
Nice job on the images. They are still in focus when enlarged.

PetesPockets55

Sorry but this one is too blurry to see any details when enlarged.

PetesPockets55

A couple of questions come to mind and there really shouldn't be any with an MS70. What is up with the rim by the last S in STATES? And the "trenching" where the field meets the rim below that point. Looks like a number of carbon spots as well in the area around your red arrow. Submitted ...

PetesPockets55

Nice clear image again.
My eyes are telling me something looks different but I'm not sure if it is just part of the design.1989 LINK

PetesPockets55

Nice clear image. (The arrows may be covering part of the area in question.)
I don't really see anything different but click on this 1989 LINK

PetesPockets55

It should be 95% copper. Can you please provide more detail to the question.
What are you hoping to learn, other than it is a 1972D Lincoln cent?

What is JMO?

Just My opinion (Some abbreviations still get me from time to time.)

Here is one that sold on Ebay- LINK .

Looking forward to seeing your posts..

:thumbsup: :trophy: that's a HUGE dog M,........ :l Really glad to hear Big Fido made it back safely.

Some of the other years you have shared have been absolutely stunnin...

Have you had it for long?

PetesPockets55

Nope.

PetesPockets55

I just got my first submission back from James Wiles for Variety Vista last week. There were 3 new listings. Very pleased because it spans both ends of the Lincoln cent spectrum and the 1927 being the year my father was born. 1909 DDR-012 LINK 1927 DDO-002 LINK 2017pDDO-001 LINK (The images on VV ar...

PetesPockets55

I agree.
Nice images showing the jewelry rim/sleeve. Interesting that you have found two more in the same box you searched.

PetesPockets55

Congrats on the nice find. I was thinking planchet flaw as well.
As deep as that one is I would think something causing a strike through would still be there since they handle the proof coins more carefully than a business strike.

PetesPockets55

I THINK I "BUMBLED" THIS ONE !! i did a real good hugeeyes under my 'Super-Scope' ,... & i think it's a: " OFF CENTER SELF-CLASH" .... bummer ! :s the coin i was using for the "DISCOVERY" was kind of crummy one to me.... so, i gotta let rick know monday A bummer fo...

PetesPockets55

I agree also that it is a wide A M E ....... ( NOT a close AM E ) With a Close AM the two letters would almost be touching and the designers initials (FG) would look different. Another way to differentiate for the Wide AM is if the M looks centered between the A , E so that the distance between all...

PetesPockets55

It gets blurry when it is enlarged. But it might be a die chip?
