So frustrating now they still aren't labeling this coin as DDO when the eagle beak, lettering and date are clearly doubled. Ugh As a courtesy PCGS says they'll send it through a 3rd time. http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/37382 Interested in your thoughts... Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/05/2018 8:08 pm Please include full pics of both obverse and reverse and close-ups of all doubled areas. This is an interesting coin, separate from your thoughts about pricing (sorry, if you want attribution, you have to pay for it to begin with, makes sense). Standing by. Report this Post to the Staff
ckrakowski Pillar of the Community 979 Posts	Posted 06/05/2018 8:33 pm I would not submit it again. It is clear they will not grade it correctly so I would not waste my money on it. Report this Post to the Staff
nwplaza Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 06/05/2018 9:28 pm It graded VF25 but thought PCGS would label it Double Die, doesn't sound like that's going to happen. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/06/2018 11:45 am Looks like MDD ( Machine Doubling damage) Do you have images of the other areas of doubling? It's possible the lettering could also be Longacre doubling. The fact that the doubling on the date and the eagles leg/claw being the same points at MDD and not a repunched date. and as a point of information a doubled die will NOT show on the date of these coins. The die was completed before the date was added. Report this Post to the Staff
nwplaza Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 06/06/2018 2:59 pm Thanks Conder101 for your take. The additional confusion on whether DDO or MDD is PCGS's Coinfacts page at: http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/37382 The variety shown on their page has the same doubling as our example.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 09:34 am The Coinfacts page doesn't give any pickup points for where the DDO shows and they picked a very poor coin to illustrate the variety (if that is what it really is) because the coin they show has a severe case of MDD. I did not see a DDO on that coin. Anyone have CPG pictures of the variety? Report this Post to the Staff
