Included a couple of side by sides that seem to show Extra thickness when compared to normal coin of the same year and mint, but I haven't seen too many of these so I'd like to get a few opinions.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74471 Posts	Posted 04/25/2019 5:27 pm We need pictures. Now with the pictures, I don't see anything unusual going on. No Doubled Die Obverse, just an Over Polished die issue with the devices. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 04/25/2019 5:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/25/2019 7:28 pm The images are not much help. We need to see the full set of images of the date and the groups of devices. The date would be helpful to see if it is a DDO or not. Note these images of the '9's. Look for the white arrows. If the '9' looks like the white arrow designates, then it maybe a DDO. But if the '9's don't then it is probably not one. Lets see the date first to see what you have. The die polishing maybe hiding the doubing, or it may just not be a doubled die?

CouchDiver1978 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 01:27 am The top of my nine is marginally wider than the bend making the master look pretty close, but it looks like there's a die gouge in the middle so there's several of them that look similar to me. Nice diagram btw Coop. Edited by CouchDiver1978 04/26/2019 01:32 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 10:17 am This die had me wondering because I've seen something like it before. 1972-D DDO-002 looks like it, but this one is not a doubled die. When I looked it up, the over polishing on the edges of the die was altered just like this die. Then I looked at the 9 on the date and this coins date, and knew that this one is not a doubled die. http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20...2DDDO002.htm Just the another polished normal die example.
