I don't see it but I'm terrible at doubled dies.

The location is not in the area where we normally see a DDR. I've made overlays and that area is where the bust area is. So it not a clash. My image host is not working yet. But I'll add the images as soon as they get it fixed. So if it is not a coin scratch (which I doubt) I'm not sure what it is? On the front post it looks like a die chip on that area? The usual DDR are more down on the windows above the door areas: http://doubleddie.com/2247758.html   Edited by coop

Here is another photo I put arrows in the area of interest. Both windows or flow throughs should be clear and Square. As one can cee there is a smaller triangle shape in the upper north west corner of the east window. The second arrow is showing something going on with the pillar. I have checked Wexlers and haven't seen it on there. I have to check on how to send it to them.  "LOVE THE HUNT!"

If this were a DDR, we would expect it to be at the center of the design, since the piece of metal hubbed into a working die begins slightly convex. This type of doubling occurs when the single squeeze hub makes contact with the die for the first time slightly out of position and is backed off, repositioned, and re-applied by a worker. Because the first part of the hub to make contact is at the raised center of the blank die, the doubling occurs at the center of the design. In order for there to be this type of doubling in this part of the design, there would have to be major, wide-spread doubling at the center of the design as well, which we clearly do not see here. My best finds: 1996 DDO-001/FS-101: http://goccf.com/t/3720661995 DDO-001/FS-101: http://goccf.com/t/376071#32252441972-P DDO-008/FS-108: http://goccf.com/t/4055582000-D Maryland Quarter Rotated Die http://goccf.com/t/3945531988-P "Reverse of '89": http://goccf.com/t/399390Massive strike through error on 1957-P Jefferson nickel http://goccf.com/t/402781 |

Samcoin thats great, you told me what its not. Then what caused this? Is it not an error? I found a second coin that is about the same but the extra metal is a bit smaller. If its not a DDR than what classification would one put this coin in? "LOVE THE HUNT!"

@arby96 I find the tone a little rude considering your question was "is this a DDR," which means telling you it's not a DDR is in fact the answer to your question. It could be an early stage minor die chip that hasn't broken off yet, or perhaps a small die gouge. Whatever it is, it's of no numismatic value. Edited by SamCoin

Not a DDR, sorry. No mint error, no premium. Always also please include photos of the entire coin, both sides. Thanks.  ça va bien aller

Arby this it is more a die chip. The DDO or DDR do not sound like this. I never see yet a DD with this form, physically it is impossible. |
