Need complete pics of the obverse. On Wexler's site it should have told you certain details to look for, did any match?

I could never figure out the difference between WDDO-001 and a normal large date coin, so I can't really help to identify the doubling.
However, I do not see the die scratches here. The images for WDDO-001 have fairly strong scratches around LIBERTY, so I'd expect to see them on your coin if it is WDDO-001.
ALso, WDDO-001 is on a copper planchet, so you should weigh it. If it's zinc you can rule out WDDO-001.

Hello and thanks everyone. Just weighed it up as I forgot to at the start of this thread and it is zinc. Sorry about that. I'll probably be back with more questions soon.  Thanks for the help. Happy hunting! Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

Also, quick question- how do we know that this die couldn't have struck a zinc planchet? Both types were used that year, and Maybe a zinc planchet made it into the copper mix.

Thanks Mr Coop. Is mine a DDO-001? I think it looks like it may be... or is that hub doubling? Appreciate the great images as well!

Your missing the point. It is not. Note the 'LIB' size on LIBERTY on DDO-001. Your coin is a normal large date copper cent.

Don't sweat it. We all make mistakes. I just want you to see what I see on the coins. So I step on toes at time, but I try not to stomp on them. What more important is the correct information. Knowing what to look for. We all get egg on our face from time to time.  Want to see my latest creation? I've seen some real nice toned Buffalo nickels and the thought hit me. Make the tone color part of the color for images. So I edited them and make color coins with them.    Yea or nea? |

Thank you Mr Coop. I understand what you were trying to do, just sorry I couldn't understand the first time. Also I was short on time to type so I typed as little as I could and get My point across.  The reason I was confused is the label of Wexlers coin is DDO, but your label on the pictures was hub doubling, so shouldn't Mr Wexler change it to WHDDO? Or something like that? The Buffalo looks nice. You should do more. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

It has WDDO on them. You had me wondering If I forgot those letters. WWHDDO would be a Wexler-Working-Hub-DDO. It is a WDDO, Wexler DDO. Quote:
