@bobby: I usually judge DDO on these mostly by looking at the 'Y' of liberty. The right arm of the Y is much thinner than the left one. Then I move on to other parts to see if there is othere thickening of the letters . BTW: Nice DDO.  |

@bobby131313 I can understand you, its hard for me too, but this one is easy to spot because of the thickness.  @Brandmeister will do it later, but can you please send me images of a coin as example on how those angles are please?  Thank you @Dearborn! I actually do that too, but I also look at the date... Thank you for the tips  gigi2110

Nice find. Bobby, look at the letters in LIBERTY. There are no steps in it, it's just fat letters.

@Cujohn yes he was right, I uploaded 15 images of the doubling of this coin just above his comment because somebody asked me if I can put some images in different angles, and as I don't know how to do it I take pictures in different angles with my microscope and my camara, and I said in my post: "i do apologize because I'm going to upload a lot, but after you check the images please let me know which ones are useful for you and the community and I'm going to delete the others", but its seems he didn't read it. So as he feel uncomfortable with my post I just deleted. Sorry.

Nice find, gigi2110! Quote:This coin here is exactly why I don't usually comment on DDs unless I'm positive it's Machine Doubling, reflection, etc. I believe you guys for sure, but I darn sure don't see it.  Bobby, maybe this will help. The upper example is a normal die and the lower example is gigi2110's example. The distortion on this particular DD is in the verticals.   -makecents-

Nice DDO. For me, many times I'll use the thickness on the T of LIBERTY. The vertical bar is much thicker than the horizontal bar. They should be the same thickness. (There are some years where the difference in the Y is in the master die.) FWIW- This thread seems to have the right # of images. 1 image from DD.com for comparison, the obverse, the reverse, and LIBERTY. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Lovely coin! Yes, the main tell-tale signs are the columns of the T and Y in LIBERTY!
