Very nice DDO. Have you checked on Wexlers to find it yet ? |

Looks to me to be WDDR 005.

I started to (like I always do) and usually find my observations incorrect, so I decided not to drive myself crazy until a had confirmation that it was a DDO frist. I am absolutely the worst here on the forum for DDO and DDR (you have had an amazing good luck streak :) congrats). I still just don't have the eye and or proper USB scope for picking them up. Everyone here on the forum has had to build up a high level of tolerance and patience for my posts on the DDO / DDR variety. My thought is that it is WDDO-005 (but like I said I am the worst) |

Wow, that is great - I was still writing you back when you already replied with wexlers, I am glad you picked that one out as well. I have some pictures that I can post of the die markers I had located. John mentioned that the bottom coin in my first pic was a DDO. I have that one as well so I will make a new post - but I just don't see anything on that one. You are so lucky that you have been able to learn how to identify them. I have probably tossed many good ones back into the mix. |

I think after you find a couple of doubled dies it gets alot easier .Plus for me I look through Wexlers listings just to see the doubled dies for a each year I am searching before hand. Helps me ,it might help you.

It's confusing, but I think John was saying the bottom coin as in, the one lower than the other in the picture. The bottom is then the Top and the Top is the bottom  Nice find though CoinCents! I recently found WDDR-005 too which was very surprising since I live in CA and that was the only 2011P in the whole box. On Copper coins it's 2011P-1DO-006, check the die markers: http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=mdsI found the best die marker to be the die dot in between "OF" and "AMERICA" Edited by BlueSolo

That's definitely a DDO (extra thickness + see the slight split on the bottom of "RTY". The coin doesn't need to have all die markers by the way since the markers depend on usage. Do a search on coppercoins.com for 2011P DDO and for each coin click on "Marker photos: EDS/MDS." If you come up with nothing, look for any markers on your own. Any die dot/break/crack and let us know. For example: is that a die crack on the bottom of the 'E' in "CENT"? |

 I Finally got my first Doubled Die - not sure If I am allowed to use the Milestone but for me this is a BIG one, lets hope I can continue on down the right path now.  Now just need to figure out which one it is. Thank you all very much. |

With so many pics it would help if each pic was labeled. Even putting #1 or #2 by each pic would help,IMHO. John1 |

  Dear COINCENTS, You finally saw the light! Congratulations on a great find! I know how frustrating it is to learn how to identify the DDs when they're close. I can see the wide spreads but after that it's tough. Hopefully you'll get that stereo scope. From what I've read on the forum the difference is like night & day. Have you ask here if anyone has an older stereo microscope? I don't have one or I'd let you use it. I'm still looking for that 1st DD. Keep up the good work & luck be with you! |
