That is a very nice looking coin.
I agree with the others, I don't see any doubling either.
I think it would probably grade better than AU. I hope you are using care handling these coins.

Oh my, what is wrong? I can see them when I browse the thread very large and clear. You may need to click them in order for them to show up? I'll fool around with it immediately and see what's awry.

Edit: I can't determine what is wrong for you guys, but I have added direct links to the original post so that you can see the original images in their full glory

For the record, I can see no evidence of "doubling" except for on the lower right wheat stem, and what I believe to be doubling can be attributed to the extra thick lettering, the extra thick dots, and the extra thick wheat stems RELATIVE to every other unciruclated specimen I've got.

Edit #2: I'm surprised at the notion that this could be considered an uncirculated coin despite the finger print and spotting. This is the quality of the average coin in the roll; I may have done better than I thought

The fingerprint does hurt it some.
If you have multiples, would you consider doing some trading?

It kinda looks like WDDR-002, but I'm having trouble finding the die markers with the pictures.
Here is a link to the 1929 DDR's http://doubleddie.com/792260.html

ChildOfTheWheat, those were my thoughts precisely. The die markers ARE NOT present as described on that page, which I actually included in my original post, on this coin!
It's incredibly similar with its spread of the various devices, and there is no trace of MD or Die Deterioration!

Cwb, I would be more than happy to trade win-win with you. Send me a PM!

Are there any good references you folks may recommend regarding learning about the various "classes" of doubled dies?
I'm quite interested in this, because traditionally in my mind the term "doubled" does not signify added thickness, but rather twice-visible details offset by a very small distance.

If you scroll down a bit you will find some links explaing the types of doubling.

Hello again, everybody. Searching through the remainder, I believe there is ONE more coin that has a potential DDR. This one is much more subtle, but still class VI in style and effect. The dots on "E . Pluribus . Unum" appear to be stretched, much larger than a normal reverse which I will post as well. I'd rather not start a new topic, so if you folks can continue your input which I highly value and appreciate, I'd be thankful! I did check out those resources, Stoneman227 + ChildOfTheWheat, and learned much. Thank you.

Here's a link to the image gallery which contains photos of the suspect's obverse / reverse:

My my my.. I'll be updating this thread as I continue to closely identify and catalog each individual coin. I have a 3RD suspicious coin which appears to have Class VI doubling visible on "E . Pluribus . Unum" and wheat stems.

I sincerely appreciate and rely upon your independent verification of my findings, and am so glad to have the opportunity to share my lucky hunt with you!

Please let me know what you think of THIS badboy!
