    Date thickness

    This die has a thick date. Is it a DD? (Brother's)

      I have noticed the 74 P & D minted Lincolns are about half and half thick or thin. But the thick ones still catch my eye when I see them.

        There is a type 1 and type 2 date on the 1974 cents. The one with the thicker digits is the type 1 and the thin digits the type 2. There are some type 1s in which it appears the date is thicker than normal. Whether or not these are truly class VI DDOs is still up for debate.
