Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74770 Posts	Posted 12/16/2017 11:07 am Unfortunately, it's not a Doubled Die. It's actually severe Die Deterioration Doubling from the Mint overusing the dies. A "Poor Man's Doubled Die" is not a Doubled Die. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

BmTrif6186 Valued Member 71 Posts	Posted 12/16/2017 12:06 pm "Poor mans D/D"... seems appropriately named#128553; this was a coin roll find so I guess I shouldn't feel too let down... any value to those looking for page fillers as mentioned above? Somewhat hopeful after hearing it's a more pronounced example... what do you guys think? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/16/2017 12:41 pm Not correct using D/D. That would indicate a RPM. Which it is not. It is die wear. The 50's Wheat cent dies were way overused. In a tube of 50 bu 1955 cents, I found 19 of these in the roll from several different dies. Die wear flow in the direction of the rims. To the closest one. DDO : doubled die obverse DDR : doubled die reverse D/D : RPM Re-Punched-Mint mark from Denver. DDD : Die-Deterioration-Damage to the die. I usually refer to this on the single squeezed dies with the lower profile on the devices. This deterioration usually shows up beyond the devices. Die wear : I use this term for the multi-hubbed die. To make these it was done with several uses of the hub to create a single die. The die wear shows on the sides of the die that is closer towards the rim. When the die breaks down, then the die wear is on the devices. Unlike the single squeezed dies were DDD shows next to the rim.
