The images I turned out to be #$^#. but I got a few of the E and actually could see it with the full coin picture. it looks like DDR-001 but the markers dont line up. So my question is.... Is this actually a DDR or something else.

Thanks.

I think you have an EDS example, that's why the markers aren't there.Nice find.

The mint mark on your coin looks lower than the 001? Can you take an image of the date/mint mark area like on coppercoins. I can try an overlay of these to see if I'm right with an image. Just like the first image on coppercoins.

With the new pics, I agree your MM appears higher. A typo on "lower", but good eye coop ! This might be a new one.

So a few question. what does EDS example mean. I know there are multiple pictures on coopercoins.com but I never understood the difference.

2nd. I though that the MM was done by hand so why couldn't there be different MM positions on the same DD.

also.. sounds like it for sure a DDR so....

I FOUND MY FIRST DD!







Thats how a feel.

EDS Early Die State
MDS Medium Die State
LDS Late Die State
VLDS Very Late Die State

I'm not convinced yet this is a doubled die. But you might like to post if on coppercoins.com and see what they think. The reason I'm not convinced is the devices are enlarged as much as I think they would be. But the spread on the E is interesting. Bob might like to take a look at it?

That happy dance is a little premature,sorry if you misinterpreted my responses. And no the mint mark is the same for each die,so that's not a possibility. As coop pointed out, the E looks really good, without it, I would lean towards ejection doubling.This one may even need an in hand look by Bob or Chuck.

i like to do things premature. that way when I'm wrong my hopes get shattered and keeps me motivated. I will try some more photos tonight. battery on the camera died last night so I only had one chance.

Thanks for the info coop. also I'm have never posted anything on coppercoins so I will check out there forum.

-edit-
cant post it on coppercoins forum doesn't allow new people to register.

Still not convinced. Try taking images of the coin rotated 180 degrees from the way you take your images. When the light glares on the area you want to show, we can't see it. Here is an example of a normal coin with a DDR for the same year:

I know. I need to retake these images also. But note how the height is enlarged from the hubbings?

Yes I completely understand what you are saying I will try some more later glare is what I always have problems with. Anyway with my luck it's probably a normal coin.

one quick question though can you see around the outer parts of cent are higher.

pman posted this one on LCR and got a response from Chuck Daughtrey. He says it is not ejection doubling and it is not a doubled die.Pretty common for this year,but he does not know what causes it.
