A girl can dream! The we part of Coneco's description made my heart jump. Heavy die scratches through WE – EDS1-O-I-CW; FS-01-1970S-101 (029)
Description:
Very strong spread on IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY, and date. Is this the same coin (whether mine is or not) as 1970S-1DO-001
| CLASS 1
CONECA: 1-O-I Crawford: CDDO-001
Wexler: WDDO-001 FS#: 1c-029
A very strong rotated hub doubling, probably one of the rarest of all Lincoln cent doubled dies?? Hub doubling means?
I hope I am not violating any rules by copy these & pasting them. Please let me know, won't happen again!

Tery,

That's a good dream.
A few good ones you could find are that 70-s Die-1 or the more $ 1969-S Die-1.

Yes, the 70-S Coneca die-1 is the same as the 1DO-001 listed on the site. (if you find one I bet Bob would glady take it's pic for the site as long as Abe smiles for the pics as you would smile if you found one)

The term "Hub doubled" means "doubled die".
The reason is doubled die coins are made from dies that are doubled (not from coins struck twice from normal dies). The reason they say hub doubled is that when dies are made they use a hub to make the image on the die, if they hub it twice and the position shifts then they made a doubled image on the die. Coins from that die will be "doubled dies".

Your 70-S is a large date, notice the 7s top is lower, the 7 has a crease where the top meets the vertical bar and the inside curl of the 9 is blunt and it does not point east and the 0 has a slight tip on it's top.

Smile

Yes, that means that the doubled die variety is also a large date. ODV means "obverse die variety", for that year there is also the small date variety.

The real 70-s die-1 shows up well on IGWT.

See one here:
http://www.lincolncentresource.com/doubledies/1970Sddo1.html

It's value is not so much based on the strength of the doubling (because 72 die-1 is bigger but cheaper) but there are very few of those 70-s die-1 that were found. I think under 100 from all grading companies and the 69-s die-1 is similar in number but a stronger spread doubled die.

Prices are based on interest (how cool it looks) and how many were found.

LOL.... you want another pipe dream? Make it a 1958 doubled die obv die-1. It's big and only 2 were ever found.

Look at the 58:

So is this a DDO at all?
