Here is an early die state example of a real nice RPM

Here is a fun Lincoln. This coin shows a characteristic commonly seen in the earlier years of the Lincoln series. A wood-grain pattern on the planchet. This one is a little different than most and I refer to this as more of a walnut Lincoln. The soft reverse strike is common on 25D's as well as the soft MM striking.


Anyone have any wood-grain Lincoln's to share?

I think I have some in my Dansco. I will look and pot them if I get a chance.
They are very cool when they have a wood grain look.

Here is one for your Stef. A real challenging toner in the Lincoln series is a true end roll toner. Here is one I saw sitting on the end of a 55P roll I had put aside that I just had to open. Obverse is red and clean, but the reverse sure is unique.

I don't know where my pic is for the full obverse of this coin but here was a real nice find.
I found this 1992 Discovery coin DDO. It has been viewed by Wexler, Potter, Doughtry, Piazza, BJ and Billy and certified a new discovery DDO. It now has a Wexler, CONECA and I believe a new FS number. I found 4 of these in a new roll search a couple of years ago, all high grade MS coins.
It shows a very distinct second eyelid and falls into the same class as the 84 DDO second ear variety.

I love it

Here is a fun coin and the reason I am posting this is because so many of these coins show machine or strike doubling and are commonly confused with true doubled die coins. No one is 100% sure what really happens at the instant a coin is struck but it is believed that sometimes the die bounces a bit or chatters before it completely pulls away from the newly struck coin, thus leaving a mark or impression on the coin due to the second contact. What is so odd and sometimes baffling is the inconsistency of the resulting chatter, or strike doubling. It can sometimes be seen across the entire coins surface, but sometimes it can only appear in some areas.
I would love to see a real good study done to fully explain this effect.
Take a look at this one. Look at the extreme strike doubling on the date, then look at the rest of the coin.
