coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/04/2017 3:56 pm I don't think it is a DDO. Note on the real deal that other devices are also affected: I'm not seeing that on your coin. But you have the coin in hand and can check for this? Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 04/04/2017 9:11 pm Sometimes these are difficult to identify in circulated condition, but usually the tail of the 9 still shows some separation. I don't think you have a doubled die here. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 04/04/2017 11:47 pm Those Koinpro pics that Coop put up are amazing! But few of these look that great. Even so, on circulated coins you can usually see the DDO by looking at the 9 of the date. The loop end has a pretty distinctive notch even on a worn coin, and the top of the 9 (and 7) are quite thick. I don't see this on the coin posted, so I am going with no DDO.
