It was recognized by PCGS in 2024 and the was an article stating how rare it is. As of now, it's still only a pop 2, not including the one I believe I have. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

JAnthony46541 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/13/2026 07:42 am I agree it looks sort of shelf like but think thats due, in large part, to the sharpness (lack of the usual rounding of the edges) of the original lettering on this coin. Also, where do you see that the doubling is reducing the size of the devices? I don't see that at all. In fact, it clearly increases the sizes of all the impacted devices. Doesn't the consistent direction of the doubling also the seem to be indicative of a true DDO? Report this Post to the Staff
echidna Pillar of the Community Australia 602 Posts	Posted 07/13/2026 09:04 am I dont think this example is a DDO but even if it was, its value is limited. There is a genuine DDO for sale on ebay for $10. ebay item number:267722151444 Watch your top knot Edited by echidna 07/13/2026 09:51 am Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75479 Posts	Posted 07/13/2026 11:34 pm If you look at IMP, that's where the Machine Doubling is. Your coin's doubling is much different than the actual DDO that echidna linked. The one on ebay is way different. Everything including the doubling has to be the same and has to match. It can't be similar. It has to match exactly, including the die markers. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 07/13/2026 11:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
