DDO-001 is a major die variety most visible on the date. This is not it.

If does have doubling on every one of the pertinent areas. If not DDO-001, is it a possible new variety, or just a UFO?

  You can see the differences when you view the normal and the DDO side by side. |

Coop and Sam, I appreciate your feedback. But, what is your assessment of the doubling on the devices on this coin? In particular, there's doubling on LIBER, and ABE's bowtie and vest clearly have doubling in the same areas as on DDO-001.

Your coin is not a doubled die. Circulation flattening happened to it. In oreder to be from that die, all hub doubling must be present. Take a look again at the side by sides to see the enlargement of the doubled dies. Your coin is a normal example. Thus why I posted the side by sides.

Coop, not sure where you are seeing circulation flattening. Could you be specific? I do not see flattened images. Does anyone else? I admit that the date does not looked thickened, but there is line separation in the 8 and 0. Also, there is clear doubling /separation lines on LIBER. Look at each letter of LIBER and you can see a clear doubled image which is not flat, but rather has a ridged, curved appearance. Are you saying that this is caused by circulation flattening? Also what about the doubled image of the bowtie and the vest? I used a single filtered light source for the photos---so light reflection is not an issue in my humble opinion. I am sincerely trying to learn what the causal difference is between the doubling we see on these devices, and DDO. Thanks for your help! |

I see absolutely zero evidence of doubling on this coin, so when you say to look at the LIBERTY and Abe's bowtie, I'm not really sure what it is you want me to see. Everything about this coin looks like the thousand other 1980 cents I've looked at (none of which have been the DDO either, sadly). It's a fairly scarce variety, and there don't seem to be any other notable DDOs for this date as Wexler and Variety Vista have no other DDO listings besides the big one (which, since a lot of people are checking for the big one and looking at this date in the process, suggests to me that there really aren't many if any other listing-worthy DDOs to be found. |

I am also not seeing any evidence of doubling. Quote:

Doubling will always enlarge the devices. If it is not, then whatever effect you are seeing May be caused by DDD, contact marks on the devices, reflection ( even if you are just using a single filtered light source), etc. I see a hit on the south of B in LIBERTY, and reflection in the north. Circulation flattening on the date, and a few small hits to the 8 and 0. |

Sam and Ty--Please know I would not have posted this topic if I did not believe there was evidence of doubling that appeared to be a DDO. If you look at the photos on Wexler for the 1980-DDO-001, and then look at my coin, you can see the areas where there is similar doubling. On LIBER, it is to the East and SE on each letter, and I am surprised that you cannot see it. When I magnify the photos the doubling becomes even more evident. And, look at the Wexler photos of the bowtie and vest doubling for the DDO-001, and then look at my coin--you can see doubling in the identical areas--at least I can. Thanks for taking the time to weigh in. |

I looked at the images again on this coin and am still puzzled. Here is another photo of LIBER with my lines highlighting the portions of the letters that look doubled, and another photo of the bowtie and vest with arrows highlighting the doubling. I don't want to beat a dead horse---I just want to learn what is causing these devices to appear in this way which I would not call normal. On the first photo, all of the letters in LIBER appear to have separation ridging that is east and south. In particular, look at the bottom of the letter E for this separation ridging.  On the second photo see the arrow pointing north which highlights an area of the bowtie (the area between the two black dots) where there is doubling. The two arrows pointing west highlight the areas where there is doubling on the vest.  Is this just from circulation flattening, or something else? Thanks for your input. |

In almost all 80-82(Large date) cents the motto as well as LIBERTY are pretty thick. If you cannot find any die markers to match and are convinced it is a new variety I would send it to James Wiles if Variety Vista for attribution.

Much obliged Jim0815. I assume by your response that you also see the doubling on this coin which I highlighted. Others have flatly responded "there is no doubling" which I find really surprising. I don't know if it is DDO. If I want confirmation up or down, is there a reason you suggest Variety Vista as opposed to Wexler? |

Pretty sure Jim's words were "if you are convinced it is a new variety." No one but you sees doubling here, mb.

With all due respect, you wanted the opinion of the group, and several of us have chimed in with our opinion. It seems you are convinced otherwise despite the opinions given, so send it in for attribution and prove us wrong. My only other input: the areas you have pointed out on LIBERTY and the bow tie look to be some slight DDD. |
