I’ve been looking at a lot of Lincoln Memorial cents lately. I did not want to touch my Wheaties until I was sure I knew what I was looking at. I am tired of looking at 1960’s era pennies and leafing through pages and pages of varieties to attribute a single $3.00 coin—what a job! I keep thinking to myself that this is good practice?!$#@$
My first 50 Wheaties out of the jug yielded several nice attributable coins. Then I found this 1950 S DDR-Class II+V-- and it doesn’t have a listing.
The last time I thought I found a new listing, I got the stink kicked out of me. So, I am holding my breath this time.
I guess I will post it here to see what kind of reaction I get. If this 1950 S is a DDR like I think it is, Wexler, Wiles, Coneca, and CopperCoins do not have a listing for it. It is a nice enough DDR that I find it hard to believe that it is not listed and I must, therefore, be at error? Maybe it is common and has no value (ho-hum, yawn, scratch-scratch).
But…you never know. I might be having beginner’s luck. (I have learned that if I intersect luck with a lot of hard work, I usually end up with a little nugget in my pan, LOL). I used to dredge for gold, and I will never forget how excited I was when I found a 2 ounce pocket of gold under the icy waters of Elliot Creek, California! That was a treat!
Is this a DDR class II + V, and should it be listed? There are notches that I can point out, if needed, to show that the machine is not the only thing at work here.
Thanks,
Mike
