CoinNutt Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 04/29/2020 8:01 pm I searched on variety Vista's website and on Wexler's and I can't find any DDO listings that match. It has all the markers from DD-001. Are these numbers doubled? Edited by CoinNutt 04/29/2020 8:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 04/29/2020 8:21 pm No. It's a normal circulated Lincoln Cent. You're looking to close. If it was a real DDO, it would jump off the coin and smack you in the face! Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 04/30/2020 01:37 am totally not true, @USSID18. There are tons of doubled die varieties that are difficult to see even on an MS coin under a microscope. Just look at a lot of the minor shield cent DDOs on Wexler's site.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/30/2020 10:59 am This is the result of not finding a doubled die, but keep looking to find something. What you will find is Machine Doubling and with enough power you could see an atom. But your wasting time looking too hard. If it is there, you should spot it right away. If not, move on to the next coin. Sure it is your time. Keep looking hard enough to find nothing that looks like it could be something. But you won't find a doubled die that way. If it's not there, move on. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 04/30/2020 11:05 am Did you mean the 1955 DDO-001 specifically @USSID18? You just said "a DDO would jump off the coin and smack you in the face," which is not generally true for all DDOs. Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: You just said "a DDO would jump off the coin and smack you in the face," Yes, for a strong DDO. One you don't need arrows and scanning electron microscope to see. Quote: which is not generally true for all DDOs. Yes, that is true. Report this Post to the Staff
pound_foolish Valued Member United States 407 Posts	Posted 04/30/2020 12:22 pm You'd see the rimward distention of the letters in LIBERTY and hooked bottom horizontal line of the "E" in "IGWT" if it was 1957 DDO-001. http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20...7PDDO001.htm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/30/2020 6:53 pm The reason I like to make side by sides, is that then you can exactly see what is going on with a normal coin and a doubled die: 1945-P DDR-003 1945-P DDR-004 Seeing them side by side helps to train your eyes better. When you move from one image in one location, then move to another image, the perspective is lost. Thus seeing them side by side helps. Even seeing slight differences between die numbers can help to see them this way: Seeing coins side by side can prove or dis-prove a match: To make these make sure the outside width is cropped the same and set the width to the same numbers and put them near each other and your on your way.
