still lookin: Finding 2-3 2006-P 1DO-017 DDO's per month from 2006-2012 means that you have found somewhere between 168 and 256 of these so, to answer your question, I think you have them all!  Congrats! Also, dbrablec: I am not sure of the difference, I guess. I thought all DD's were errors... no? |

Sudz:
I have not been looking at cents for that long. I started with nickels then went to halves and finally to cents. I do have a total of 34 that I have kept. Some were in bad shape and I did not keep them.

Nice find! I have found a few 2006 DDO's but not that particular one. I can see how it jumped out at you. Nicely Doubled! Doubled Dies are considered Varieties. Varieties are variations of what the design of the coin was intended to be. Errors occur to the planchet. They are caused by mechanical/human errors. Edited by Jayman931

So errors are things like Cuds, clips, strike-throughs, etc. Correct? |

there are error catagories for each of the processes a coin goes through at the mint like blanking errors, upset mill errors, annealing errors, striking errors and so on depending on what coin goes through what processes.

Let's hope uman2 has a sense of humor:
The technical description is, "An oopsie occurred during the minting process."
When you stop to consider just how many coins are produced the manufacturing
process is bound to create a few flawed examples.
And we collectors gladly welcome this awkward kids into our collections.
The very popular 1955 double die is really no more than an exaggerated example of these kind
of minting flaws, but having caught the imagination of folks it demands a lot of money.
uman2, you sound like you just enjoy hunting these coins, and the members will be quite helpful
in your study.

I don't consider die aging events as errors. Chips, cracks, breaks, clashes, die wear and others are events that happen to dies in normal use. I don't consider these errors. I consider errors as a one in a kind event. Errors include wrong planchet errors, incomplete planchet errors, split planchet errors, wrong stock errors, sintered planchets, broken dies, rotated dies, overpolished dies, broadstrikes, indents, brockages, and a whole host of other striking problems. When certain die aging events happen they do become collectable. Cuds, die splitting, die cracks across the full die. But it is extreme events that happen to the die that are collectable. |

I agree with you coop Thats what I was saying. There are errors that can come from every process in the mint from the rolling mill till the end error ref . com has a nice listing of this along with a good terminoligy list of each of the processes. I have researched everything about oddity, feaks, error, and what ever else there is so I know what to look for. but you dont always have to know about the mint works to find and take interest in a unusual coin and hold onto it. Thats how I started.
