I've been collecting doubled dies for a while, but I'm not very educated about this DDR. It's the first one I've found; I'm just amazed by the amount of doubling. So just for fun, I'm doing an overlay showing the extent of the doubling--posting later. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10047 Posts	Posted 02/19/2017 3:53 pm I know the JFK DDOs and DDRs very well having found many while coin roll hunting. I have also found them in the Frankins, washingtons, Lincolns, and other minor ones - but not a WLH. I know DDO characteristics are not series specific, but also know that having one in hand let's ,e learn a lot rather than relying on a picture. This is the reason I took the gamble on this one when zooming in on the (angled) pics. I am guessing the notching and doubling I was seeing are photographic artifacts. I look forward to the overlay.

RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 02/20/2017 12:07 am Earle42, I use 4 pick-up points. In order, the extra 5th tail feather inwards towards the eagle's left leg, the doubling on the outside of the feathers above those, the "L and U" of PLURIBUS and the fat lower leg of the M in UNUM. As with all errors, a little practice in viewing the pick up points is all it takes to get familiar with them. Check out the coin I PM'ed you about, you will see it after looking at these areas and utilizing what Thulium posted. Report this Post to the Staff
Thulium Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 02/22/2017 6:22 pm So I've found another one of these DDRs on eBay--only a day left and no bids yet. If anyone wants the link, just message me. Report this Post to the Staff
RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 02/22/2017 9:19 pm I sent it to Earle42 2 days ago...yup still no bids Report this Post to the Staff
Thulium Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 02/22/2017 9:40 pm I shouldn't be surprised that others spotted it too...not so sure on the surface condition of that one. I guess I was lucky with mine. Report this Post to the Staff
coinquest1961 New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 03/12/2017 5:28 pm That's a nice early die state coin, too-note the crisp and clear shift on E PLURIBUS UNUM. Those are much more desirable that the usually seen late die state examples. Nice 'pick! Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10047 Posts	Posted 03/12/2017 6:09 pm Sorry this is so late. Life got in the way! As I thought would be the case after others saw mine and gave opinions, mine is not a DDR. The pics fooled me. Now I have a nice (?) cleaned 1946 as a reminder that I need to learn more about pics of coins on ebay and how I was led to think the one I got was doubled. @RK55 - for some reason, I did not get your PM, but very much appreciate your having sent it to me anyway. Also I thank you for the list of pick up points. I might just continue the hunt - if for nothing else - to further my education!

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 04/09/2017 11:18 pm Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but what ever happened to the other DDR that both of you spotted? If it didn't sell, did the seller re-list it? Report this Post to the Staff
RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 04/10/2017 10:10 pm I don't think it sold, and I deleted it off my watch list so I don't have who the seller was. Report this Post to the Staff
Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 04/11/2017 12:17 am RK55, you seem like the expert with regard to these. Do you have all your finds aggregated in one thread? I forget who it was that hunted the 1873 1c DDO and submitted 10+ for grading at once, but that thread was a fun read. Perchance, do you have something similar? Report this Post to the Staff
RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 04/11/2017 12:08 pm Druu, here is a small sample of what I have at my side. I have sold a few "spares" off, MS64 Cert, MS-63 Cert, (3) Cert AU's 1-AU55 and 2 AU58's. and a few VG-XF. I have not added any recently, but I think I have about 15 total.
