coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 8:50 pm It would be a DDO not a DDR if it is on the obverse. But your coin is normal for this year. Just a die wear issue on the left side of the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74901 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 9:09 pm I agree with Coop. It's not a Doubled Die Obverse, but rather a Die Deterioration (die wear) issue. Your coin looks like it's in a Late Die State. You can also see Die Scratches from the U.S. Mint employee polishing the die down, do to a Die Clash happening. They do this in order to get rid of a Die Clash, and they also do it to get more life out of the die, before they retire the die from service. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Aziz_R Valued Member Saudi Arabia 66 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 9:33 pm Got it, thanks Coop & E-n-V. I saw that it is mostly from one side only, the left side. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 9:38 pm On the new dies the fields on the coin get so affected, there are directions: Dates to the right. Liberty to the left and motto on the tops of the devices. Note how the die wear affects the devices on the newer dies on the fields. In the multi squeeze process coin the devices were affected. On the single squeeze dies the fields show the Die Deterioration. But both are die wear. Edited by coop 07/23/2018 9:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
