piercethegrimes Valued Member United States 260 Posts	Posted 05/03/2018 5:15 pm This one really jumped out at me while searching some 1963 proof cents. I think it's wddr-010 or 81. any comments welcome. Doubling strongest on ONE CENT, UNI, and left side of memorial. Edited by piercethegrimes 05/03/2018 5:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/03/2018 10:10 pm It's MD not a DDR. If you are referencing the 001 on coppercoins, that is for a BS not PF. The other indicator is really seen in the ONE CENT, the devices arwe REDUCED in size by the MD. MD is common on proofs, I always say two strikes give two chances to screw up!

piercethegrimes Valued Member United States 260 Posts	Posted 05/03/2018 10:33 pm I think it's either 10 or 81 on wexler's. The bottoms of one cent are enlarged with a spread toward the center. Not sure why you think it's MD Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/03/2018 10:36 pm Here is a DDR proof for that year. The 'E' on cent helps us see that it is MD: Note all three of the horizontal bars on that device on this image. Then look at the OP's coin. 'CE' bottom part of those devices. Note the light dark, light dark on each device? The contour is still there. The doubled area is in the center of that area showing spread, the OP's coin doesn't Show contour on this area. So is a case of deceiving MD. Report this Post to the Staff

piercethegrimes Valued Member United States 260 Posts	Posted 05/03/2018 10:54 pm Oh and coop I think you uploaded the wrong photo on accident. I think it was from a different post. Edited by piercethegrimes 05/03/2018 10:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/03/2018 11:00 pm The last two are from the same die, (I believe) just two different coins. The last one show a bit more detail. Prince: Note on your coins the west end of the devices. Note show they end abrupt? Note on the DDR, how they flow without a sharp corner? Report this Post to the Staff
piercethegrimes Valued Member United States 260 Posts	Posted 05/04/2018 12:53 pm maybe these photos will convince you it's not MD. You can see the horizontal parts of the E are doubled. Not sure if you could see that in the originals. It matches WDDR-81, markers and everything. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/04/2018 8:38 pm http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...3PDDR005.htm On this die (which is not your coins attributed die) you can see the stage 'A' coin was not MD. But the Stage 'B' coin was. Note the EPU area on each coin. The "B" has MD on the EPU, you coin also has MD on the same place. Note how the vertical lines looks like yours. That is MD on your coin. In fact the whole coin is showing more MD than on your coin. When you look at the vertical on the 'E' on one you can see MD on your coin. Also the top of the 'N' on ONE. The MD may be masking the DDR you have on your coin? Thus the alteration of the right parts of the vertical on the bottom edges of the ONE CENT area? MD does also happen on a doubled die as well.

piercethegrimes Valued Member United States 260 Posts	Posted 05/16/2018 11:15 pm I'd appreciate a few more opinions on this coin. I think this looks like a match. http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20...3PDDR017.htm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/17/2018 01:28 am The area I was seeing as MD is in the EPU. But this maybe both. MD on a doubled die. ( these are struck twice) the area I was looking at, distracted me from viewing other areas as hub doubling. Now if we could fing a marker that matches, then I would be sure. None listed, so we will need to match die anomalies to match. I'm using my tablet so it makes it hard to up close to view side by side. Report this Post to the Staff
