bkupka New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 05/15/2015 11:44 am Sorry, I'm a newby here, but is a DDO coin generally more valuable than a comparably graded coin that is a normal, single strike? If I found a DDO coin at a standard coin price, should I consider it a good deal? Report this Post to the Staff

CopperCastle Pillar of the Community United States 1132 Posts	Posted 05/15/2015 12:18 pm Keep an eye out for " Machine Doubling" as this is widely considered damage. Here's an article on Machine Doubling vs. Double Died & images of the subtle differences. http://doubleddie.com/144822.html Report this Post to the Staff

Fill on the blank with Doubled Dies and you will be started in the right direction. Some have enough of a collector base that it can increase the value of the coin. Other coins willhave to carry their own weight . Report this Post to the Staff
bkupka New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 05/15/2015 5:25 pm Does this look like Mechanical Doubling, or maybe just an artifact of the way the picture was taken, like some kind of reflection? Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/15/2015 5:54 pm At first glance, it's a shot taken through a slab or other container. Those are definitely reflections and not features on the coin - the largest and most famous DDO's of all time do not approach that kind of separation. Note that each succeeding reflection is smaller than the other; I begin to think there's so much light reflecting back into the lens that the lens is reflecting it right back onto the coin, like concentric mirrors.
