Here's a 47-D for grading. I am not an expert in DDOs at all but please look at In God We Trust. Is this considered a DDO and if so is there some place I can look to for more information on it? Thanks in advance.  |

http://varietyvista.com/scroll down to lincoln cents. just so you know there are no known DDO varieties for this 47D what you have is Machine Doubling (MD), also called Mechanical Doubling, Strike Doubling, ejection doubling, shelf doubling, or shift doubling, occurs during the coin striking process when the die shifts, bounces, or reverberates as it hits the planchet. Unlike a doubled die, the die itself is not doubled; the anomaly is caused by loose or worn parts in the coining press, improper die seating, or the die rebounding slightly after the initial strike. its fairly common and has no premium.

Anytime you think you have a doubled die., go to varietyvista.com and find an EXACT match. If you do not find an EXACT match (every picture per entry shown must match), then you have a non-collectible form of cdoubling like Machine Doubling or Die Deterioration Doubling.  |

Too small to see for me but I suspect the others are correct.

Thanks earle42 and BadThad. I did look up varietyvista and didn't find a match. As the saying goes you're never too old to learn!
