wz1f Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 11/16/2011 7:26 pm I am not sure if this passes as a DD or not. The picture is really not the best quality. I am seeing the 1987 and the D doubled. The 1 is light but the 987 is heavy doubling and the D is doubled especially in the South East part of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

jdavis18 Pillar of the Community United States 559 Posts	Posted 11/16/2011 9:06 pm I believe you are seeing Die Deterioration Doubling which is common on 80s LMC. It also carries no premium. Report this Post to the Staff
chickenboy Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 11/16/2011 9:08 pm From that picture it looks like just Die Deterioration. But, I've never understood what happens to the die to actually cause it to appear as a double. Can someone explain how it forms. Report this Post to the Staff

wz1f Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 11/17/2011 11:42 am Thanks John1 for the info. I was not sure as I am really new to this. I am in hopes to get a stereo microscope and camera but then I will still need to learn. Thank to all on the forum for the valueable help. Report this Post to the Staff
