1983 Lincoln Memorial Cent DDR FS-802?
Found this 1983 Lincoln Memorial Cent this afternoon while hunting a box of cents. I have found a FS-801 in the past so I always check any 1983 P I find. I noticed the medium to light spread in united. After closer inspection I am pretty sure this is a late stage FS-802. I matched up most of the die markers, Including the die crack from the lower right memorial base to the rim and the 3 die scratched in bay 1 of memorial plus others. I have attached photos showing most of the areas that Variety vista and Copper Coins show.Tags: None

It certainly looks like it could be FS-802 and I would lean that way too. However, I disagree in that your coin is NOT an LDS coin. The sharpness of the devices near the rim is really pretty good. I would say at worst, it is MDS. The lack of clarity on the doubling itself is mainly due to circulation wear. Great find!I am pretty sure this is a late stage FS-802.Bob Piazza
