kdavis21 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/29/2008 09:32 am What is this coin? Is it a DDO / DDR? or something else? I can't find any 'errors' listed for this year. 1915 Memorial cent Image: cropped1st1915.jpg 91.22 KB Image: cropped2nd1915.jpg 70.33 KB Image: cropped4th1915.jpg 72.58 KB Image: cropped3rd1915.jpg 79.16 KB Any help would be appreciated. Sorry about the picture quality. If you need better I can try again. Thanks, Kay Report this Post to the Staff

mahgobbi Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 01/29/2008 10:27 am Hello. The "O" and "R" in DDO and DDR refer to obverse and reverse, so it definitely isn't a DDR. It's most likely just Machine Doubling on this coin, but I'll let the experts answer, since I'm still new to this myself. Report this Post to the Staff

kdavis21 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/29/2008 10:45 am Thank you for your replies. So what should it be called? And is it typical for this year? Should it be kept? The PLURIBUS is also doubled? Thank you, Kay Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/29/2008 2:43 pm Its a minor error. Not worth saving. The only list of errors would be categories. Incomplete planchet/wrong planchet/strike through/off center/lamination/broad-struck/ETC.... Some warrant a premium, others happen so frequently they are not valuable at all. More of a conversation piece to new collectors to appreciate their valueless find. The real term is Machine Doubled Damage. To a collector of the highest grade coins, these I pass over as they distract from a coins value to purist collectors. Edited by coop 01/29/2008 2:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
magusxxx Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 01/30/2008 10:39 am Okay, I have to finally say something about some people saying 'minor error' and 'not worth saving'. ;) Even though all of the 'errors' I posted have been found to give the coin no extra value, I think they may be unique enough to hold onto. Especially if you get them in change and paid no premium for them in the first place. Report this Post to the Staff
Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 01/30/2008 3:36 pm The main reason we say that is if we said, 'Ooh, that's a keeper', then it will show up on ebay tomorrow with an outrageous price! Report this Post to the Staff
Homer1 Valued Member 138 Posts	Posted 01/30/2008 5:35 pm I would keep because it's an oddity and that many people do collect them. Besides you probably never find another one with the same date. Report this Post to the Staff
