[Shingpumps]

I check for the 1968 D DDR. While I have it I check the mint mark too.

[Brad]

I don't know how I forgot the 1968 D rpm 1, I just bought one of those.

[Shingpumps]

The DDR is nice too. While you check for the MM, might as well check the reverse.

[Pat]

Hey make sure you guys digg this thread or any other of the social bookmarks.. By doing so you increase the awareness of the Lincoln Cent Resource. :)

[car10]

What about 1994 ddr(fs-039.9), while you're at it check the rotation.

Have you seen a 94 DDR in person or do you have one.

[Shingpumps]

Sorry didn't see your pic. Did you find it or buy it?

I found it in circulation. I submitted it to NGC under their variety plus service. They returned it to me in an MS65RD holder with no mention of the variety. I had to send it right back to them to fix the problem. They fixed their mistake and paid the freight both ways.
At the time I submitted it there had only been seven(I think) of them previously graded by NGC(according to their census). Since I have gotten mine back they have graded a dozen or so more, most of them high-end mint-state examples. Somebody must have found a BU roll with a bunch of them in it.

I've been searching for me one. That and the 1980 DDO.

Stop bringing up all these varieties i don't know about. I already feel like my heads gonna explode while i open rolls. Keeping up with what i'm lookin for. LOL

How do I look at the 6 views of the 1994 DDR?

[Pat]

How do I look at the 6 views of the 1994 DDR?

Which one specifically there are about six different DDR's for 94..

[DWK]

Don;t mind me. I'm new at this. Car10's post had a picture of the 1994 DDR. It said 6 views next to it. I thought there was 6 different pictures of it. Now It says 7 views.
probably because I looked at it. Jokes on me. By the way, its the FS1c-039.9.

I wanted to see the back of it to compare to the one I found. Mine is about AU BN by my reckoning. I have some pictures of it if anyone is interested. Also I might part with it for the right price if anyone is interested.

[Brad]

I am interested. I was looking for an affordable example that is problem free. Lets see some pics. This is probably one that will eventually be added to the main site.

Post away, I'd like to see it too.

[Wheat Cents]

I would venture a guess that more will be found in the future, though this DDR is found in the scarcest of 82 rolls, the 82 plain small date zinc. John Wexler has a great article about this newly discovered DDR in the most recent issue of NCADD's bi-monthly newsletter "The HUB" - NOV/DEC 2007 - issue. The 3 page article includes AWESOME pics along with full descriptions and Tips on how one can narrow one's search for this variety. That issue also featured info on three newly "discovered" Lincoln Cent RPMs.

To:

New Lincoln Cent Variety collectors,

If you do not belong to NCADD I would recommended joining. The newsletter alone is well worth the price of yearly membership. Heck this one issue alone is worth it. Every issue there is something on Lincoln Varietys..

[DWK]

Hi guys:

I hope I am doing this right. Its my first try. If it works there are three pics of my 1994 DDR Fs#1c-039.9. Front and back at 10x plus the extra cols at 60x. These were taken by my QX5 digital microscope which I use as I'm searching thru rolls. I hope the pics show up well.

Its ungraded, I figure AU BN 50 maybe?

I have no idea what to ask for it. I'd like to trade for a 1932D or S quarter.

(24 cents profit):angel:

DWK

[car10]

Sure looks like it. Needs a bath though.

[Brad]

It looks like a 1994 DDR to me too. I don't think it is worth a 1932 D or S quarter however. Look like an AU-53 to me. Worth between $70-$80. The 1932 D and S quarters go for around $200 in good. I would be willing to figure out some type of trade or purchase with you. Just do me one favor...don't clean it, rub it, or dip it.

[DWK]

Brad:

Got any extra 1970S small dates in BU?

Jim Proctor, finder of the second 1982 DDR 1, sent me some pics...

You can see them here: http://www.lincolncentresource.com/doubledies/1982ddr1.html

[grizz]

how about the 2000 extra beard variety featured in the latest NN edition?

[Brad]

The 2000 "Extra Beard" doubled die has been debunked and delisted. It is now a trail only. Read more HERE (http://board.conecaonline.org/showthread.php?p=2582#post2582) .

[AgCollector]

I would also add 2004 DDR to the list- it's pretty major, at least, it rates 3 stars on coppercoins.

[coppercoins]

One of the things a lot of people tend to forget is that ALL of these major varieties were completely unheard of at one time after their issue. ALL of them had to be 'discovered'.

In that, looking ONLY for the major stuff that's known could keep YOU from being the discoverer of yet another major find.

The best way to look through memorials is to first sort them by date, then go through each different date and mintmark with a fine tooth comb looking for 'anything' that's different from the norm. This is how I came to discover over 200 different 'new dies' over my time searching.

Limiting yourself to what's "known" only knocks you out of being a discoverer...probably not a good idea.

[corroded]

Coppercoins, very true. If one is going to search, do it right. Look at ALL THE COIN,
every coin. Treat each coin the same. Check every detail--lettering, dates, all design elements. New finds are out there. We are both living proof that new finds are indeed out there. Searchers should discipline themselves to search every detail of the coin. If they don't want to or feel like they don't have the time, then lay them aside until you can make the time. I have new finds on corroded coins, which is why i am called Corroded. Tell them, Chuck--check them all!

[mousey70]

The 1994-p has two different 165 degree rotations. Clockwise,CW, and counterclockwise,CCW. Does anyone know of any other cent with equal but opposite rotations or DDO's and opposite DDR's or any other errors?
Agcollector has both 1994's , CW and CCW.
