corkykile Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 This is a good one. Three die cracks on the hair and forehead, one in the top part of the 5, and a partially filled 9. The lettering and mint mark seem extra heavy and I suspect a double die on the mint mark if not also on the date. This happens to be one of several in various states of 'cracking' that came from the same roll. Sorry, couldn't get it to load for a larger version. Sure do need to learn how to do that.

Thanks buddy Dustin. Glad you are finding more fun stuff. Maybe Santa will bring you some goodies for Christmas. (Don't ever stop believing in Santa.) Maybe finding the 60 and 70's is more difficult because you probably are searching mostly circulated cents. I have so many bu rolls of different years that make it easier to find the cracks and such. It is possible some of your cents had die cracks but the circulating wore them down so you cannot see them. Congrats on the Star note... gee, I havent been looking for them because I know very little about the difference. So, I looked in my wallet and found a series 2003, L 00868588 * (<- star?). Is that the difference? If it is then I better be more aware... Haven't gotten it photographed to my satisfaction yet, but yesterday I showed two 1961 d bu that I had thought I had verified according to the internet... to Mr. Miller... and he verified that they are indeed a D over a horizontal D mm. So the two have been 'certified' as Wexler WRPM-002, or 1961-D-1MM-002, or Coneca RPM-002, D/D/D west tilted with split lower serif. I guess this is how it goes. The other two from the same roll are 1961 D-1MM-001, or Coneca RPM-001, Wexler WRPM-001. So far my photographs haven't been able to show the intricacies of the error. I will keep trying. Oh, Mr. Miller wanted to buy one of the D over horizontal D... didn't want to sell mine yet. Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurtS Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Cool coin...that 57-D has a great color! The late 50s were sure an interesting time for die cracks and fills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corkykile Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Thanks Kurt, The 57 d is from a roll of uncirculated Lincolns I purchased. Not all of them are in as good of condition. I pick out the ones that will pass my up-close-and-personal inspection and the rest are out the door. Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
