It's there, but I didn't label it DDR, but "doubling of IN God WE TRUST". Is there anotehr variety I missed?

"IN God WE TRUST" would be the obverse. what I am talking about is the 1982 Doubled Die Reverse. Charles Daughtrey has said it may be one of the biggest discoveries of the last 20 years. So far there are only 2 known, mine and a second one found about 3 months later.
Here's the page on coppercoins that shows it

http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies ... _state=mds

It was written about in the October 2007 coinworld and Numismatic News.

My mistake, and I can't believe I made it, I have several rolls of 1982 and have looked for this error in these rolls. Alas, I missed adding it to my list anyway.

What a beautiful DDR! No, it's not the same one, but I just listed this 83' DDR so people know to look for it, but didn't think I wanted to get into the variety numbers. Is that what you mean?

Thanks for the list Daniel. Sure helps us newbies as to what coins to look for when searching these coins.

Now here is a question for you, when you get a gripe of coin to search how do you go about searching them? I look at each one but the but the ones one the lists closer. Is there a right and wrong way to search coins if that makes any sense as a question?

I use a 10x jewelers loupe and start looking at the center of the coin and work my way outward. I guess I look in a counter clockwise and circular direction.

i think i seen on here where someone said to look for a 1910 vdb ?
Daniel wrote:It's means Victor David Brenner, and is the designer of the Linoln Cent. In 1909 some cents had the V.D.B. on the reverse, bottom rim, but people thought it was too large and the mint removed the initials. In 1918 the initials vdb where included in the design again, but on the obverse, below the shoulder, and have been there every since.

Yes. I posted that, and I don't think I added it to the list. I think it should be called 1910 with 09' Reverse.

Update...the 1996 WAM has never been confirmed by anybody other than it's discoverer...it mysteriously disappeared before a second attributer could examine it. There are a few more tidbits but I'll leave that to the rumor mill

Was the VDB the only difference between the two? Or was there some other design features that can be used to differentiate between the two?
And Paul, are you saying the VDB was removed from the die or the coin on your example?
Thanks, Cliff

I understand about getting too many irons in the fire. It is nice to get "in depth" projects complete before starting others.
