Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 08/12/2019 10:08 pm I have two 1970-D 25c DDRs I have to attribute so I'm trying to cross-reference the known DDRs. It's a nightmare. Just going of what is pictured doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, and the CPG: WDDR-001 is NOT DDR-001 WDDR-003 is DDR-001 WDDR-001 and WDDR-002 look like the same die? FS-101 looks more like DDR-002 than DDR-001 but then FS-101 would be FS-102 so . Help, I'm going crazy. WDDR-001: WDDR-002: WDDR-003: DDR-001: DDR-002: FS-101: Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/12/2019 10:43 pm The DDR-001 looks like Machine Doubling. Compare the width of the devices of the DDO-001 and DDO-002? Also note the WDDR-001 and 002 the leaf above the 'U'? Note the affect on that leaf on Wexler's DDO, but not on your coin the DDO-001. MD. The Wexler WDDO-003, looks like a machine doubled, doubled die. (again note the leaf is also affected) So the DDO-002 does look like a doubled die. Note the 10:00 area of the 'Q'? I see the same thing I see on the '9' of the 1972 cents. Note the distortion on that area? The DDO-001 has it a bit, but not like the DDO-002. (enlarged for sure) Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 08/12/2019 10:47 pm Yeah a lot of them also have Machine Doubling, so it makes it even more difficult at times. All of the photos here are from the sites I listed or the books, they are all doubled dies but the MD makes it hard to see at times. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/12/2019 10:54 pm Do you see what I'm seeing on the 'Q' at 10:00. That shows it is a doubled die when you see that mark pushing in on that location. (my image host is not working right now)(_8^(\|)= Dooh! Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 08/12/2019 11:10 pm I see what you're saying, it makes a point where there should be a smooth, round device. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 08/12/2019 11:40 pm I think these cross-references make the most sense, correct me if I'm wrong: Die #1: FS-101 WDDO-001 Die #2: FS-102 DDO-002 WDDO-002 Die #3: DDO-001 WDDO-003 Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 08/13/2019 08:23 am The doubling @ 10 o'clock on the Q is part of the design on rdv-006 and rdv-007 so all 1970 business strike coins , with the exception of the one proof reverse die that was used as a business strike (rdv-008) , have this doubling. The lack of this doubling on the Q is one of the pickup points for 1970-D rdv-008 Edited by stoneman227 08/13/2019 08:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
