1955 Proof Lincoln cent DDR-007, Stage C (http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20...5PDDR007.htm)

DD link to WDDR-001

(http://doubleddie.com/302101.html)I won this back at the end of July. Fairly strong separation on EPU and I was able to capture some of it.
BTW- Wexler mentions it's a Tripled Die.

I was having a lot of difficulties finding the match until I was able to see the lite die scratches on the outside wheat seed (left wheat) in line with the base of the U (UNITED). Boy, they were a booger to get images of. These scratches are also what I based my estimate of the die stage C since they didn't seem to continue across 3 of the seeds.



Enjoy.

Oh yeah, It seemed to have been struck through a fiber on the obverse between the shoulder and the rim. It appears to be incuse and have some 90 degree corners on it.

No apologies needed when trying to photograph a proof cent or any detail of a proof cent. Nice Coin.
