dbeck22 Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 01/17/2019 1:07 pm * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * I found some 1970 s pennies in an original bankwrapped roll. Most of them seem to be doubled. Some have seperation lines and some are thick letters. I think there would be a seperation line but they have blended together or something. is that possible? also I found this..... This is one of the rare and valuable 1970 S Doubled Die Obverse DDO varieties of the Lincoln Memorial cent. This coin is best identified by the doubling of the letters "In God We Trust" along the top of the coin and the doubling of the word "Liberty" on the left side. In addition: The 1970 date and S mint mark are also doubled on this penny as well as depicted in the example image above. However the doubling is not always as prominent since there are multiple varieties of this particular doubled die. Source of example image is courtesy of Heritage Auctions. where it says "However the doubling is not always as prominent since there are multiple varieties of this particular doubled die." does this mean that the 1970 S DDO -001 has different varieties of that variety? maybe some with seperation lines and some without? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Quote: does this mean that the 1970 S DDO -001 has different varieties of that variety? They either meant there are different die stages like John said or that there are other minor doubled dies for the date. They worded it poorly.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 01/18/2019 12:14 am For 1970-S there are a lot of coins that seem to have thicker letters. But some of them are DDO. Short of finding some exact die marker you may wish to look very closely and with different light angles at the lower left corner of the L in LIBERTY and the tops of the W in WE. That's where the doubled dies tend to actually show a bit better. And if you are really looking, a whole pile of the DDO's for that year are just minor bars above or below the 7 of the date or bits above or below the L of LIBERTY. Lots of minor DDO's to be found on that year so with a roll of good coins the odds are actually pretty good that something in there will be a DDO. Report this Post to the Staff
