CouchDiver1978 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 03/31/2019 10:18 pm I can't find anything on Wexler variety Vista or copper coins concerning DDO examples for the 2003 d. I found this coin and had to go ahead and post given the clarity of some of the pictures that I got. Specifically, I'd like you guys to take a look at the TRU in Trust and the TY in Liberty and let me know what you think. I typically wouldn't post anything this late-stage, especially combined with something unproven for the year but had to throw it out there, if for nothing other than a learning experience on what not to look for.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/01/2019 05:03 am Not seeing a DDO. The only thing that catches my eye is the Y in LIBERTY,the right arm looks a bit thick. Where are you seeing notching? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
CouchDiver1978 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 04/01/2019 9:30 pm On the left vertical bar, bottom right side, on the letter r in Trust, there appears to be a very small notch similar in magnitude to the inside spread apparent on the same letter towards the middle of the device. I was thinking that the Y in Liberty looks thick as well and , was spreading he wrong way oh, i.e. towards the center, to be soly LSDD or DF related. Also perhaps on the letter u as well. I see what you mean by the rest of the coin I think, though I'm still learning how to look at these things, the only Distortion and discoloration that can be seen and the actual field is around that letter y. And only very minimally so at that but it does look like a little something right? Edited by CouchDiver1978 04/01/2019 9:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CouchDiver1978 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 04/02/2019 07:54 am Sorry, LSDD should mean (late stage Die Deterioration Doubling) DF is just die fatigue.I should have said DDD Report this Post to the Staff

CouchDiver1978 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 04/05/2019 11:31 am No problem I was just posting because you said that there was something that might look interesting and I felt like I had a better picture. Thanks for taking a look. Report this Post to the Staff

CouchDiver1978 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 04/05/2019 11:36 am This is probably a dead topic or rapidly becoming so, hopefully you guys will see my question before moving on. My question being does either one of you have or know any good links to high resolution pictures that show planchette field distortion due to being struck by a doubled die?

CouchDiver1978 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 04/16/2019 07:58 am I'm meant post this reply a long time ago Coop, apologies. Edited by CouchDiver1978 04/16/2019 08:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/16/2019 08:18 am Much better images. I see a lot of die flow on the fields. This indicates that the dies were getting very close to retirement. Their appears to be some very light Machine Doubling on the motto devices. Looks like you have a nice software program? But a 100% improvement. Thanks. Now we can see what you have on your coin. Although this is not a keeper coin, now we can look forward to greater images on the next one. Report this Post to the Staff
