    Started as a Spike ended with new DDR? Looks like new doubled steps!!

    Additional Information
    Date: 1998
    Variety: DDR
    Mint: Philadelphia

    Alright, this started as a new Spike Head and I always attemp to find one decent marker for JC. Flipped the coin over, thought I had a clash to use as a marker and STEPS!! They tried to rub it out but did not succeed! I remembered that there were doubled steps on the 98P's and took a look and there are no matches!

    Let me know what you think, Jon.

    Really nice spike Jon! That could be doubling of the Memorial floor, look at this listing https://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...&die_state=mds

    Thanks for checking it out Viv!! I looked through all th listings on all sites. Check out this marked up closeup. There look to be 6 steps in bay 3 and less in others. Sorry for the not so great pic.

    Check out the 98P's, there are a couple on cc and a couple on Wexler.

    Jon, this one might need an in-hand inspection! I'm thinking either Jim or Bob, this is really different!

    I agree. I'll have to see if either would like to take a look at it. I was trying to take some better pics this morning before work, took about 40 and then realized it was the wrong coin!

    I'm not sure what I have here Larry. I set it off to the side for now. I need to get it in someone's hands who would be able to verify it being a possible DDR. I think everything in the bays east of Lincoln are nothing more than abrasions but bay 3 has promise in my opinion.

    That spike is nice... At first I thought 017 http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-cen...ads-1990-1999/ then I noticed that the arcs of the crack are different... Looked a little farther down and noticed it appears to be 024 I could be wrong tho... JC will need to make that call... That is very interesting on the possible DDR... CC only has the one listed and Wexler has 2 one of which crosses to CCs 009... VV doesn't have any of the steps... I would be more than happy to take some pics for you but your coin would still need to be seen by one of the pros... Wexler is backlogged big time so Wiles may be your best bet to get it listed... I am sure Bob would like to look at it in hand but CC is not adding any thing new so there is not much Bob could do???
    Jim
    (A.K.A. Elmer Fudd) Be verwy verwy quiet... I'm hunting coins!!! Good Hunting!!!
