Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 11/18/2017 5:15 pm So far I have found two WDDO-024's and a half dozen nice floating roofs and a third DDO but I need help identifying it. I think it's a WDDO-007 but I'm confused because of all the stages involved. I have found most of the markers and there is signs of a die clash of the columns on the obverse under Liberty. However, a lot of the die gouges and scratches are to faint to show up in photos. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank You for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75042 Posts	Posted 11/18/2017 5:38 pm It is WDDO-007. Congratulations on the find! Here's John A Wexler's page. Your's could be Stage B or C. doubleddie.com/452412.html Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 11/18/2017 5:48 pm Thank you E&V! Wexler's site is where I was looking, I was just a little confused with the different stages. I thought maybe stage D and was just about to Email him again with some pics to get his opinion like I did with the WDDO-024 I found a couple of days ago. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75042 Posts	Posted 11/18/2017 5:51 pm You're welcome. If you think it's a Stage D specimen, I would contact John Wexler and send him the images. :) Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 11/18/2017 5:59 pm After further inspection I'm thinking that you may be correct. But, which one, B or C! (lol) Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4407 Posts	Posted 11/18/2017 7:30 pm It's Stage D, Die gouge below zero is present but the die crack through the W in WE has not formed yet. Also, I wouldn't fret too much about not finding which stage you have, it's not that important. To me, die stages are just to show the different die markers that may be present so you can confirm what # doubled die you have. Report this Post to the Staff
Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 11/18/2017 7:46 pm Thanks Tanman2001! I understand the markers are help identify which number DD you have it makes perfect sense. I originally thought stage D but Wexler's site states (for the WDDO-007 stage D) that, Quote: The die has been heavily abraded removing the die clash marks and most Stage C die scratches. and this coin still shows the clash marks.

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4407 Posts	Posted 11/18/2017 9:00 pm The clash marks on your coin are much, much weaker than stage C examples due to the abrasion that occurs in Stage D. Report this Post to the Staff
Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 11/18/2017 9:28 pm Ah, I see your point now Thank you Tanman2001! I'm convinced, WDDO-007 Stage D it is. Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4407 Posts	Posted 11/18/2017 9:32 pm No Problem It's funny, you've been posting 1970 doubled 7s recently, and I found my third today. The first two I found are unlisted, I'm sending them to Wexler soon. The one I found today is 1970 WDDO-010, I'll make a topic about it later. Report this Post to the Staff
Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 11/18/2017 10:11 pm That in funny! I actually have another one but all I could find is the doubling above the 7.I don't see any markers on the obverse or reverse. I'll put it aside to send in to Wexler. Report this Post to the Staff

Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 11/19/2017 1:44 pm I apologize for the glare. I tried to soften the pic but didn't have much luck. I outlined the areas of interest. Hope it helps. In the original pics, pics 5 and 6 are the die clash of the columns Report this Post to the Staff
