Nice trade! That's a strong DDR for a Wheat penny in my opinion. It's a nice piece!

Thank you CoinHunter27! It's a very nice and strong Class 6 DDR. I am glad to own it, as I have never had one before.

(Newbie) For some reason I can't see the doubled die, can anyone explain this to me? I either am blind or just really drawing a blank here.

Congratulations on that one. Really love the extreme thickness on some of those class6 doubled dies.

Welcome to the forum.
This is a class 6 DDR and separation is not always visible but extra thickness will be.
Different DDR's will show varying degrees of thickness on the outside devices, concentric to the rim.

So start by looking at E PLURIBUS UNUM, the dots, the wheat stalks and stems closest to the rim. Parts of the letters parallel (concentric) to the rim will show thickness and possibly separation.

So look at the first and last dot for an oval or barrel shape. The base of the E, P, L, B, S and U's and outside of the wheat stalks will show extra thickness.

On extreme example like this one, thickness can even show up on the tops of ONE, and the bottoms of "OF AMERICA".

Once you spot it you'll probably say "Oh yeah, there it is."

Hope I said this all correctly and that it helps in your searches.
