corkykile Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Okay everyone, don't know if this picture will be large or clear enough to determine what is under this D mintmark. Am going to give it a try and hope for the best. Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 A D shifted down and to the right. Clear as day to me. Makes me wonder if I'm not seeing the right thing if you asked about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corkykile Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 A D shifted down and to the right. Clear as day to me. Makes me wonder if I'm not seeing the right thing if you asked about it... Now, that did make a difference. I didn't want to influence others about what I think is there. Sometimes it is necessary to have someone take that first and fresh look to see what is really there. Thanks for checking this out. I really like to try and determine what an error is before foist it onto anyone else. As far as I can tell there is the upright of the left side of the D smack in the middle of the top D, with slight southeast drift. The rest of the bottom D must have disappeared... or I just don't see it. Now I am going back to the reference books and websites to see if I can identify it positively. Thanks Deadpoint, I really needed some help on this one. Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post which one it turns out to be here. I'm interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppercoins Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 No need. It's 1961D-1MM-038. They are pretty common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corkykile Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Thank you Mr. D, and thanks deadpoint. I just needed a little nudge in the right direction and I found it at Coppercoins.com. Oh, Mr. D, I think you might have seen one of my coins like this here before, but it is a second one that I found. It is also deeply toned and the only real part of the first D that I can discern is a tag at the bottom of the top D. If it was as good of an example as the one I just posted we could probably have determined what it is. Now I am leaning for the same classification for the weaker example. By the way, if it wasn't for your coppercoins.com and your books, and your kind help on the forum, and everyone's patience with this yearling newbie, I think I would still be flailing about in a sea of unchartered Lincoln cents. Thanks ever so much. Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
