paulekearney2 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 07/26/2014 3:02 pm This coin is one that until just a minute ago I thought was a newer penny, because of the condition, and when I looked at it it appears to be either a DDR or a double strike. Can anyone advise me? Edited by paulekearney2 07/26/2014 3:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coins101 Valued Member United States 118 Posts	Posted 07/26/2014 3:26 pm Im not seeing the DDO part so whatever doubling you are seeing is probably MD. The picture is to blurry to see the MD but clear enough to see its not a doubled die. Note its not a double strike for that is a different error altogether. Report this Post to the Staff

That is where the most prominent error is, but the picture is not doing it justice. The letters almost appear like a rolling pin was use. Report this Post to the Staff

OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 07/26/2014 5:22 pm the worn die,aka Die Deterioration that John1 talks about can sometimes create doubling effect, trails and sorts of weirdness, but that is not a DDR. What helped me is to look at coins that are a DDR.. the oval shape of the dot, thickness in wheat stalks etc Report this Post to the Staff
