Thulium Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 02/13/2017 9:09 pm This coin got my attention because it was struck at a US mint, and it's a one year type. Therefore, the date was on the hub and also doubled. There are several doubled dies for this single year of issue. They are common, and I can only guess the US mints weren't too concerned about the quality of these coins. The doubling on the date is really dramatic: The legends show strong doubling as well, and some places look like a tripled die--arrows. There are large areas of doubling on the whole obverse, including the portrait: Edited by Thulium 02/13/2017 9:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 02/17/2017 12:39 pm @Thulium - You mentioned DDR I went back to look at mine and YESSIR. Check these pics. BTW for those of you who may be wondering about the date in the filenames, the camera that I used for the closeups had an internal camera that was incorrect. Report this Post to the Staff
Thulium Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 02/17/2017 12:44 pm Very nice example of the DDR! Great pics--it's very strong on the "A". Pretty obvious the mint didn't care much, did they? Edited by Thulium 02/17/2017 12:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 02/17/2017 2:14 pm @Thulium True that about the mint not caring. The doubling is quite pronounced on the A, but also very much so on the ball and horizontal lines beneath the word Balboa. Report this Post to the Staff
JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 06/15/2017 06:39 am I finally located a few of my 1907 Half Balboa's to examine. And to my surprise, this one quickly caught my eye, it appears to be a DDO / DDR! Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff
