It occurs to me that I also have a VDDR-017 handy, which is similar but a class VI DDO. Tonight I will try to add an image of that date for comparison as well. |

Add away! Everyone who follows this CCF discussion board should pretty much read that page. And here is the Wexler page with great info plus links to each doubled die type. https://doubleddie.com/58222.html |

That sure is an odd looking DDO  |

Alright, so here is the class VI VDDO-017. So for this die the design more or less looks like it was dragged/elongated toward the rim. The angles on the numbers are there, but even more pronounced than on DDO-002. Distortion of the last 4 is fairly extreme, and the fat vs thin parts of the 9 really start to be quite easy to spot. And since this is on the master doubling, the already split serifs are now drifting to at least 4 points and maybe more. Fun trying to diagnose these kinds of doubled dies as I'm not sure anyone yet really knows exactly what went on when they were made. 1944-D VDDO-017  |

Well done and thanks for the additional image of the second DDO. All that extra doubling looks sweet. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

TB... what program or app are you using to edit your pictures?

I drop them into photoshop. Crop things up and usually a bit with the levels sliders get it nice pretty quickly.

Thanks TB. Had a feeling it was photo shop. I will play around with that one and see what I think.

That VDDO-017 is really something, especially the 9, wow, and good photo of it.
