    Guidelines

    Additional Information
    Variety: DDO
    Mint: West Point

    The VARIETY ATTRIBUTIONS section is for the creation of a thread where the OP is inquiring about a specific variety or a type of variety.
    A variety is some type of design change or die mishap that happens before the die is put into use.
    Varieties are typically:
    Doubled dies; RPMs (repunched mintmarks - 1989 or earlier). Other mintmark issues such as overmint marks (OMMs) and inverted mintmarks (IMMs). Design alterations such as the 1909 which has VDB and 1909 where VDB was removed; small and large dates. Installation mishaps or mismatched dies such as WAMs & CAMs, 1988 RDV-006. Traildies and wavysteps. The so called 1922 no or weak D (which is technically an error but treated as a variety). Coins with lathe lines.
    This section is for LINCOLN CENTS
    other denominations should be posted in Off Topic Discussion
    Anything else is probably an error and should go into the ERROR ATTRIBUTIONS section.
    Clashes (all types), CUDs, doubled strikes, machine doubling, off center struck coins are all error coins.
    Variety Examples: is a sub-forum where known variety examples can be posted assuming it has been CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED and your images are good. The Variety Examples section is meant to aid collectors and is not to be used as an attribution section or a place to ask questions.

    Die Varieties by Year: is similar to Variety Examples, but broken down into threads per year.



    LINKS:
    In the For the Lincoln Cent Beginner section, there are tutorials on Machine Doubling (MD); Classes of Doubled Dies (Class I Rotated Hub Doubling etc.); Small Dates vs. Large Dates and other useful threads.

    To post photos where you INSERT an IMAGE:

    You need a web hosting account. Your image has to be uploaded and stored on that site FIRST. Using a link to the jpg, you can insert it into the body of your thread/post.

    You can set up an account with Photobucket.com, tinypic.com or an equivalent site. You can also use your own server or website if you have one.

    Click the yellow icon of a landscape with a mountain and sun (1)
    Paste your direct link (http) into the pop-up window (2)
    Hit OK

    Keep your images at 900 pixels across horizontally or smaller.

    If you would like to a post a link to something outside of LCR:

    Copy the complete URL from the address window of your computer (1)
    Highlight the text you want to be a link in the body of your thread/post. It can be the address, a word or sentence.
    Click the icon of the globe (2)
    Paste your URL in the pop-up (3)
    (The completed link will be a burgundy color.)

    Example

    As an example. You can photograph your coin and post photos.

    Please explain WHAT YOU SEE clearly. Posting photos and asking, "What do you think?" is not enough.

    If arrows are something you can create on your photos, that can help. Just try and be clear with your threads.

    If you think you know the class of doubling, or the die variety number, you can post that - if not - that is fine.

    Below I am placing two photos of 1942 DDO-004.
    The doubling is a lightly hubbed, pivoted version of LIBERTY. I know the cherrypicker's number is FS-101 (old number 018.7). CONECA calls it DDO-004 (4-O-V); Coppercoins.com lists it as 1DO-004; Wexler lists it as WDDO-011
