tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6123 Posts	Posted 11/16/2017 10:46 pm I recently noted that I was after a 1924-S DDO-001 for my collection. Found a nice one in a roll and put up some pics here. But before I finished wrapping up my hunt for this one and could move on, a couple other things dropped in. Turns out the one that will go in my collection is this one, which I bought for a heart-stopping $0.99 off ebay (plus shipping) a couple days ago. The details around the date are so sharp you can see the actual right angle notches in the 2 and 4 and not just blurry things. And the superfat 9 is a plating issue as that number really isn't THAT large on the DDO. I also cherry picked two more off ebay last week in nice VF condition while the hunt was on. So now I have the one I like (plus three more) and can move on to hunting up my next target. Report this Post to the Staff

That doesn't make sense as it's not a plated coin.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6123 Posts	Posted 11/17/2017 08:25 am Hmmm. So maybe not a plating issue which I suppose is not technically correct. How about a "flaking" issue or "lamination" issue? Who knows, maybe some copper left near the 1 and 9 from the previous coin were struck there. Either way, the 9 has extra flaky bits of copper making it look too large. Just wanted to make that side note since this is a class 6 doubled die and the thickness of the 9 is an important thing to look for. Don't use that as a comparator on this coin. Sorry about the snow and haze but it's in the 2x2 now. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 11/17/2017 10:30 am Good finds, especially for that price. The fat 9 doesn't seem that pronounced. Might be a tiny delamination. Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 11/17/2017 9:00 pm Big Congrats ! The dimensions on that 9 seem to go beyond the class VI distortion. The 9 might have taken a hit to spread the metal a bit and jump start some lamination. Report this Post to the Staff
