I certainly agree with you about this one being tough to identify. I would have certainly missed it. I can't tell if its got extra thickness or not but you are way more experienced than I am at identifying varieties. So, if you say it's a DDO, I say it is too. Cheers |

Looks like a normal cent to me. The zeros are oblong on the WDDO-005. Later I'll make a side by side to compare with.

Can you get a closeup of the die chip on the top of the shield? I think this has a chance of being WDDO-005.

I am not seeing the extra thickness on the date.
Errers and Varietys.

I have no idea what everyone else is seeing. I think this is WDDO-005, I see slight extra thickness on the date but the glare makes it difficult to spot. The die chip on the back is nearly a perfect match to that pictured for WDDO-005 but your coin is a slightly later die state so more die chips have developed to the right.

Okay, I can see the extra thickness on the date now. I think it's a later die stage of WDDO-005.

Nice job on spotting this one LOM and the attribution Tanman.
I was in agreement with Tanman from the first set of images. May have been subtle, but the 0's showed a slight "foot ball" like shape. Especially with slight contraction of thickness at 1:00 and 7:00.

We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

That is how I look at it too Petespockets55.
If there was an equal amount of EVEN thickness around the two and first zero, I would have dismissed this as a thick date.
But with the thinness at the 1 and 7 o'clock I think what gives it away.
Thanks everyone

Here are the side by sides. A tough call on this one. On levels coin, the reason he is getting glare is from Machine Doubling on the bottoms of the devices. Probably be better to take an image with the lighting in the opposite direction. On Wexlers image it appears to have flattening on the zero on the date? Even with the normal coin it is still hard to tell differences. So here is it:  Not sure what to call it. Wexler's comments: Quote:
2010 1¢ WDDO-005
Description: Extra thickness shows on the digits of the date. It is hard to see extra thickness. More like slight thickness me? |

Thanks Coop for the side by sides.
Sure wish Wexler listed the Class of doubling regularly. It might help to pick up other areas to look at for any doubling or thickness.
At least we can cross check other sites, but he is the only reference for many many modern varieties.
(My apologies Tanman if your site does and guess I need to become more familiar with it.)
