UPDATE ON 1983 P DOUBLED DIE CENT. MUST READ!!!

[Sheila ruley]

Hello Sheila,


I have processed the coins that you submitted for attribution in a package postmarked October 17, 2016.


The 1983 Lincoln cent is 1983 1¢ WDDO-011 which is a new listing for my files.


Congratulations on the new listing. It will be illustrated on the appropriate page of my website the next time that I update the site. I also plan to use it in my Varieties Notebook column in Coin World. It is scheduled to be illustrated in the January 16, 2017 installment of that column.


I hope that this information helps. Good luck with all of your collecting endeavors.


Sincerely,
John A. Wexler

Congratulations on your new listing.

[Maineman750]

Cool ! Thanks for letting us know so quickly :eclipsee_silver_cup

[Sheila ruley]

Your welcome!!

[enamel7]

Wow! Who would have thought a new listing!

[Sheila ruley]

I know right!

[joel]

Very, very impressive, Sheila!!! Your coin is being published and a new listing will include your name!! Great job!!!

[Sheila ruley]

Thank you! I am so excited!!

[GrumpyEd]

Awesome!

I wonder if that listing will cross to another listing.
I'm assuming he already listed die-1 so this could be another known one or a new one.
Pretty amazing if it's another unknown DDO that's that strong.

Very cool!

[Sheila ruley]

I wondered that too.

[jfines69]

That is AWESOME... Safe to say that excited is an understatement... Here I thought is was 001 :LOL_Hair: That DDO was hiding for 33 years COOL!!!

[jallengomez]

Nice Sheila and a big congrats! It's not often you get your name on a discovery listing that's as bold as that one.

[Sheila ruley]

Yes, I know. I don't know how much it would be worth though. Probably not that much.

[willbrooks]

Congratulations, Shiela! I have a 1983 DDO that is unlisted too that I never got around to sending in. Maybe it is the same as yours! I'll have to go back and check it for the markers when the listing is up.

[Sheila ruley]

Yes, that would be a good idea. You can always send it off if you can't be sure. That's what I did.

[Chugly]

This is one of the best discovery coins I've seen in a good while! What a wonderful find! Congratulations and thanks for taking the time to add to our collective knowledge. Happy searching!!

[Sheila ruley]

Thank you and your welcome.

[GrumpyEd]

If Wexler didn't already have something listed that crosses to die-3 then this might be it.

If so, it will be nice to see pics and markers.

I've never seen people attribute die-3, probably because there aren't good listings with markers and they look similar to die-1 (like this coin).

The other thing is that they might not be so uncommon. Most people would assume it's a die-1. I think most TPGs would slab them as die-1. When most TPGs attribute with FS numbers they probably just look at the CPG pics and attribute if the doubling matches because the CPG doesn't show markers for most listings. Not the same with attribution by Wexler or Bob, they go by markers and even if the doubling seems to match they'll know it's a different die by the markers and what it should have in that die state.

[Sheila ruley]

That's awesome to know. Thank you for the information. I didn't know all that.

[Maineman750]

If you are referring to the CPG die #3, Wexler already has a listing for that one

[Petespockets55]

Congratulations on the new listing, Sheila. All your perseverance has paid off. That is fantastic. And the value should be decent once the listing and article comes out since it is "the" discovery coin, plus its grade and fairly early die state.
At this point there is only one attributed and it is the "Top Pop"!!!!!!!! :tinysmile_hmm_t:

[stoneman227]

A Big Congrats on the new listing !

John

[Frank]

Holy amazingness!!!

WTG and Congrats, Sheila!! :tinysmile_classes_t:tinysmile_classes_t:tinysmile _classes_t:tinysmile_classes_t:tinysmile_classes_t

[Sheila ruley]

Thank you!!!

[grnwavdav]

Super cool Sheila!!! Congratulations! That is a monumental discovery piece!

[GrumpyEd]

Wow, how could that monster go un-noticed! Very cool!

[WaterSport]

Thats great news - Congrats!

It looks like John Wexler cross-referenced it as CONECA DDO-010 as well. Currently the photos are uploading but it will be interesting to compare the two in a couple hours once Wexler's website is done updating. Great coin!

[Frank]

It's up!!! :) UUUU, and it's RIGHT ABOVE my fav DDR as well!!


WOW! That is just a CRAZY sick spread on that DDO!! Congrats again, Sheila!!

[jfines69]

It may be my eyes playing tricks but I do not think Sheilas' coin crosses to VVs 010... To me the spread on E TRUST of Sheilas' coin appears to be wider??? Unless it is a different die state... Also if the die scratches between ON and the base are markers to match the 2 those scratches are similar but to me they doe not appear to be in the same locations???

I am with you Jim, it just doesn't look quite right. Hopefully once Sheila gets the coin back in hand she can let us know for sure though.

[Maineman750]

Jim....I looked at that at 3:00am and thought I might be seeing things, but now I agree

[jfines69]

At least I know now it isn't just me I think :LOL_Hair: I have a feeling that this may be a completely new die and not just for Wexlers files???

[Maineman750]

I couldn't even match up any of the scratches on the reverse.....they're similar, but that doesn't count, and then again, I don't have it in hand and that is the best way

[jfines69]

That is the same thing I came up with!!!

[Sheila ruley]

Would you guys like me to send the coin to you so you can look at it in person?

[Maineman750]

That might be worth doing Sheila. Let me check to make sure my photography set-up will work correctly, I updated to Windows10 and had some trouble.....I'll get back to you after I'm sure and we'll go from there, ok ?

[Sheila ruley]

Sounds good to me.

[Frank]

I updated to Windows10 and had some trouble

Right click the programs icon - click properties then the Compatibility tab and run the compatibility trouble shooter... I had the same issue on some older programs until I ran that... Win 10 now runs them programs under older versions of Windows... One program even runs under Windows XP Service Pack 1!!!

If Maineman can not find any thing then I will be happy to take a look for you!!!

I think you and I have had some ESP going on lately....compatibility mode just popped into my head early this morning:LOL_Hair:

[Maineman750]

Well Jim.....it fixed itself....maybe the Anniversary Update took care of the problem. Sheila, I'll email my address to you and maybe we can solve this mystery.

[Sheila ruley]

That's fine. If you can't find anything, then you can just send it to him. He can just send it back to me. If you guys do find anything, please let me know. I want to see if you guys can send it in for me. I will pay you for it. just let me know how much it will be To send it in as a discovery coin. I very much appreciate all your help guys.

[Sheila ruley]

Ok great!!! I look forward to it!

[Maineman750]

No, we don't want any kind of money, we're just hoping for a new discovery and if that happens, we'll worry about that when it does.

[Sheila ruley]

Wow! Ok, thank you much!!!

[jfines69]

Yeah....notifications come about 5 minutes after I read the emails:ooh:

[Frank]

Sorry...guess I could have been a bit more helpful than posting a meme voicing my disdain over the latest MS OS!

TBH...I'm tempted to go back to XP from 7, but 7's grown on me. That's what I do, after all! Well, that and help maintain a few boards like this :D

Sheila, I'm just so stoked you found that gem hiding away after all this time!! I was in 11th grade when it was minted!! :D

[Sheila ruley]

Wow, that is awesome! Thank you very much. I am excited that I found it too.

[jfines69]

I do this as a hobby... It gives me something to do (Since I am a disabled old geezer :LOL_Hair:) It helps keep my mind working except of course when the pain meds and muscle relaxers are working :LOL_Hair:

[Sheila ruley]

I understand to a point. I don't sleep for almost a week at a time sometimes unless I take a sleeping pill. I hate them, so I don't take them every night like I'm supposed to. The good thing about them is that they don't leave me feeling drowsy when I wake up.

I quit with the sleeping pills... The stuff I was given made me a zombie for days on end :LOL_Hair:

[Sheila ruley]

I'm on ambien cr 12.5 mg. I feel fine when I take them as long as I go to bed shortly after taking it. Otherwise, I get loopy. LOL. They can be addictive, so I am careful about taking them. That's why I don't take them every night.
