1944 S 1DO-004

Im pretty sure this is coppercoins 1do-004
mint mark looks right but hard to confirm markers with the condition of this coin :/

I don't think so -- I did a quick overlay and your MM seems to be [ever-so-slightly] N of 1DO-4 (http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1944&die_id=1944s1do004&die_state=mds). There are a few other characteristics of the variety I am not seeing, either.

Do you have a close-up of the E of WE?


Good luck with it.

Im shooting thru a loupe and its hard to get a clean pic.

The 9 sure looks dead-on to the 004, being a Class 6, but I have to agree the MM is a tad off from 1DO-004. The MM position looks closer to DDO-010, but I can't see any other characteristics of 010.

Gonna be hard to match without markers. All of them are very close to the same and yours has damage on the 9 and MM so an overlay might not help very much. Is there a die gouge between O and N of ONE?

[ericodapro]

I really dont see any markers from Wexlers listing either.

CCs 004 (http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1944&die_id=1944s1do004&die_state=mds)crosses to VVs 010!!!

To me the MM location looks closest to VVs 006 (http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20Doubled%20Dies%20Vol%201/1944SDDO006.htm)??? However the 4s do not look correct??? Weren't there 2 types of 4s used on the 44 LWCs??? Pointed 4 and blunted 4???

Plus the fact it says right on Coppercoins that it crosses to DDO-010 but......here we are. Confused

[ericodapro]

Im more confused than anyone now lol. Is there anything I can do to help clear this up?

LOL -- Circulation wear can really makes things difficult, at times -- I am thinking you may never know for sure.

While the tail and the MM are compelling, two other characteristics of this/these Class VI DD's is a 'ski slope' at the bottom horizontal and LIBE having a left-side arcing [thanks Ed] and I am not seeing those (possibly because of the wear). At any rate, it is probably worth holding onto for future investigation. :D

You're welcome... Always glad to help!!!

[jfines69]

The best way without markers is an overlay of the date/MM... Remember the opposing die can be changed out making marker matching, in this case the rev die, difficult!!!
