I saw die deterioration and MD and was about to toss in my copper bin when I decided to take a second look and glad I did. Between deterioration and wear it was hiding but I was able to find one of the two markers to confirm. Sorry for the pics, it was tough to get photos of this one.http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/d...&die_state=mds

Thanks for looking, Jon.

Looks good to me Jon! Congrats! Great save! Your photos are very good too!

Thanks Viv!! I think the deterioration does something to the way the light reflects. It was very hard to get any clear pics of this one.

You know Jon, I have come to the conclusion that every Lincoln cent has a distinct personality and therefore poses different challenges when trying to capture photos! That is where learning different techniques really helps and you are doing a fine job!

I would have to agree on the distinct personality, not so sure about the "fine job" or the earlier comment about the "eagle eye" but I appreciate it.

Sorry to say but yours doesn't look like CCs 003 http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/d...&die_state=lds Yours is the wrong color Nice save on that one... With the circ wear on yours I probably wouldn't have notice the DDR!!!

I definitely do not think anymore of the Morgan than the Lincoln. It's been very challenging working with the cent and very rewarding and fun! It's odd because I have come back to what got me into coins to begin with seven years ago. I opened up an eBay account to get rid of some odds and ends around the house and was surfing one day and ran across a 1914 D Lincoln auction that was getting ready to finish. To my amazement it went for $25,000. I started doing a lot of research on lots of different U.S. coinage and ended up getting stuck on Morgans for several years. The Lincoln was what brought me to coins in general though and then shortly there after to varieties. I love the Lincoln!
