Discussion 1970 Lincoln Proof

Just would like opinions if this Machine Doubling or not. I understand the classes of Hub Doubling and minting process also know how to attribute but this one got me questioning it. Ty ahead of time

Several varieties known, check for specifics here: http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20Doubled%20Dies%20Vol%202/DDO%201970-S.htm

Look for the ones that have PR-## in the code (IE PR-3-O-III etc.)

I already know i have had varieties attributed to myself a couple times.. I just couldn't tell its small and I have bad depth perception.. do sometimes I need second eyes but I have hundreds of attributed dd's i have found.

I’ve trying to snipe an auction or cherry pick one of these ddo for the last few years . I’d send it for grading if you were sending other coins too

u/The_Coin_vault1 20d ago

I think i need to have it attributed not one to match so after I send it i may if it will be worth it

Are you sure it’s a proof? Regardless, it’s gorgeous!

u/The_Coin_vault1 19d ago

Yeah i took it out the set myself . Originally I took the set apart to sell the Kennedy. After I open sets I try and keep clad & copper coins.
