sosicoin Valued Member United States 393 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 6:31 pm Hi, everyone. I need your expert opinions on this coin. Hi, Crazyb0, I am learning from your pdf files & that of coop. I am trying to be a good student of this wonderful hobby. I know it will take some time for me to learn. Is there a DDO on this coin? I found several of these in bank rolls. My apologies for the low grade pix. Thank you all for your words of wisdom. Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 3128 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 6:42 pm I believe this is Die Deterioration, not a DDO. I don't see any notching or extra thickness on the lower parts of the letters I, N, and O like on the DDOs of this era. I also see die flow lines below the word GOD, this shows that your coin is an LDS and Die Deterioration is likely. Report this Post to the Staff
sosicoin Valued Member United States 393 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 7:36 pm Thanks, Tanman2001. What is LDS? If I may ask, can DDO be likened to a new shirt & DDD be likened to an old shirt? In one of the books that I read, DDD was at times called 'poor man's doubled die' like silver as 'poor man's gold.' Oh well, too much to learn...thanks, again. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 3128 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 8:48 pm LDS means Late Die State, a coin that is LDS shows die wear as the die used to make the coin struck many many before it. There are a few topics here that discuss LDS: http://goccf.com/t/32605 http://goccf.com/t/299471 If you see "Poor Man's Doubled Die" it is NOT a doubled die. I really hate that term. Too many newbies are tricked by that misnomer, I wish people would stop using it. A "poor man's" is just Die Deterioration NOT a doubled die.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 11:44 pm Sosicoin, the big doubling on the 39P nickel is a DDR, on MONTICELLO, and is quite obvious of one. To help understand Deterioration and late die states, read what I wrote here for Moxking's contest: http://goccf.com/t/301753&whichpage=3 Report this Post to the Staff
