Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 4:10 pm Could be a plating blister, could be a remnant of a die clash but I think this is a good candidate for being a new DDO. I would send it to Wexler Edited by Kloccwork419 01/29/2021 4:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 4:36 pm I checked with toothpick to see if I could smash it. So maybe not a blister? I tried to line up a clash. Nothing lined up obverse or reverse. Thanks Kloccwork for your thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff
Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 4:54 pm Is that a dent or is that little piece raised? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 6:47 pm It could be a die polishing issue. The polisher leveled the fields and sub devices and now that area is raised on the coins. Seeing the LIBERTY area might show that if that happened. That is an area where die clashes happen, and the polishing altered the hair devices. Report this Post to the Staff
Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 6:54 pm Could be many things but I bet it could be listed as a DDO. Most Doibled ears look like a die dent. All the new shield cent doubled ears look like a die dent to me but they list it as a DDO. I would still send it to Wexler. It's interesting for sure.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 7:50 pm I found this several of these in a roll back in 2011.: I would call these doubled dies, as they don't look anything like the hubs design. Edited by coop 01/29/2021 7:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 9:30 pm May be no way to know for sure, but it appears to follow the contour of the coin and not the shape of the ear. That would be more indicative of a die dent. Report this Post to the Staff
Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 9:37 pm You can call them whatever you want coop Report this Post to the Staff
RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 11:06 pm It is interesting. I thought about the shield doubled ears also. Even 2006P-1DO-018 or WDDO-045. I thought maybe a clash. Tried several different clash angles even counter clash nothing came close. There's nothing anywhere on the coin that looks to be a clash.
