ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 12/15/2014 8:41 pm I recently found a 1989 D DDO. It kind of looks like Machine Doubling or even just the copper running away from the zinc. What do you guys think? Here are the spots I see doubling: Liberty, in god, and Lincolns head.

unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 12/15/2014 8:45 pm I am just learning this stuff, but from what I see it just looks like a very worn die that caused the coin to have the look it does. Hope other experts chime in Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 12/15/2014 10:00 pm It looks like Die Deterioration. Note IN GOD...the devices are blending into the field. You'll often see that when the die is worn (LDS or more likely, VLDS) a ghostly image appears adjacent to a device (normally LIBERTY and the DATE). John Wexler has a write up on this phenomenon I think. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/15/2014 10:25 pm It is Die Deterioration. I shows on the sides of the devices that face the rim. Date to the right, LIBERTY to the left and motto above the devices near the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
