1968 ddo

[graveyard_guy]

there is definite doubling on the motto, but I can't seem to match it on copper coins. I don't know if it's a earlier die state then they have pictured or what?

Definitely a DDO. I assume you can't match any markers?

no I cant. it looks closest to DDO-001 but the die markers are not on my coin That's why I was thinking maybe early die state.
Or did I find a new DDO?

Go here: LINK (http://varietyvista.com/Variety%20Master%20Listings/lincoln%20doubled%20dies%201965-1969.htm#_1968-D) (CONECA Variety master List) and see if the markers match one of the 4 Class II DDOs.

nope.
The E in WE looks like it is connected to the rim that could be a die chip like on DDO-004
31271
but no die chip on the first T in TRUST
31272
And no "Strong die scratch Southwest under Left building edge"
31273
Or chip on upper column #12

The first step should probably be mint mark location, maybe by doing an overlay. Have you tried that yet?

I just wanted to say nice job on the overlays. It looks like 001 is pretty close.

Since there are similar DDOs for the date, this may very well be a new one. I would have to do an in hand exam to determine that.

WOW... :bigsmile:You mean I might have a discovery? Cool. You'll' have to PM me so we can work out how to get it to you safely to be verified.

[mustbebob]
