Do you mean double strike? Nope, Doubled Stripe DDR. The ones I got listed: 2012 1¢ WDDR-003 2012 1¢ WDDR-004 2014 1¢ WDDR-002 2015 1¢ WDDR-008 See? Still nobody knows or cares about my find!   There's actually a ton of these out there, though most are very minor. It's the second-coming of the "bar-on-column" DDRs that were on the memorial cents. If there weren't so many dismissive comments on my post when I first discovered them, I feel people would actually know about/be looking for them. Oh well. And, no problem CoinTheTerm.

Thanks coop I appreciate you taking the time to make the visual and explain. It's been though because I read all the posts on here and try to gain some knowledge especially from people with high post counts and even more so from those that really explain. I guess what really confused me today was a post I saw that showed a supposed DDR, and other members were saying he had it.i couldn't see it and just saw what I had posted so many times and got the response of Die Deterioration. So I asked for an explanation and received Quote:
look at the extra thickness at the bottom of the R C and A. You can also see slight separation on the FG initials. The bottom of the C is thicker than the top. So I was like ok... So I have been looking at this wrong so on my search I came across this with the bottoms thicker than the top. Enter confusion and frustration. Anyway I see that you are part of that thread and didn't just jump on the bandwagon. Many that have replied to this thread are on my list of most respected members on here and will continue to be and I hope that the responses are as helpful as these. Thanks again coop |

I saw that one earlier. I'm with you on that one.  And trust me I am not saying that he does not have it I respect the original poster very much and his opinion is greatly appreciated on here whenever he responds to any of my posts. It was just interesting to me that when someone new posts pictures like that they get a lot of flak and instantly people default to the standard response of MD or PSD or Die Deterioration whereas in that post it was like instant acceptance no request for additional pictures so I was just looking for some clarification. I'm glad that you and a few others on there have also questioned it. This will help in the future when somebody that performs a search goes looking for maybe the same type of error doesn't get so confused. Again I say this with the utmost respect for everyone |

CoinTheTerm, Just a heads up and to defend myself. Most members know me as a "yes" or "no" answerer,sometimes a brief answer. I am right about 80% of the time. Coop is an in depth answer along with photos. And WADR,the go-to guy is Mike Diamond. If a member posts a coin with MD, most of us "good ole boys" are going to call it what it is... machine doubling  You can't call MD a DDO if it is MD,you see what I am sayin'? Keep at it,research and research some more. You'll get it. John1  |

I think he more than likely has it since he doesn't post unless he has something, but I personally not educated enough to make that call. I trust people's opinion more than my own in regards to collecting coins since they've been doing this for a lot longer than I have, even though I've saved a couple of coins that members on here told me was just MD. I know what MD looks like, but the example I've posted on here couple of weeks ago didn't match with my knowledgeable of MD, so I just saved it even if it is truly MD. People make mistakes and that's okey. We are human, we are not perfect, and we definitely don't know everything.
Cheers

Hey John thanks for that response I understand clearly what you are saying and trust me I know your style on here very well I have been following your posts for quite some time and certainly regard you as a trusted member of The forum. I wouldn't want it any other way if it's MD than it is MD what I'm saying is whether you have been on here for quite some time or you are a noob if the pictures aren't clear we shouldn't default to answering that something is or isn't one thing or another we should request the same from somebody that's new as from somebody thats an expert. Just as if it's MD we should call it MD if it's not clear we should call it not clear also.

(known for) brief answer(s). I am right about 80% of the time. I feel most of us can agree with this^ I'm working on my own site right now, I'm still trying to learn as much as I can. There's definitely some areas I'm inexperienced with. I agree Mike Diamond is one of, if not the most, credible and knowledgeable member of this forum. He is a writer for Coin World and is credited in error-ref, cuds-on-coins, maddieclashes, and traildies.com . And, although not on the forum, Dr. James Wiles is definitely one of the go-to guys for die varieties now. He runs Varietyvista.com . Quote:

I find this pretty interesting, because I actually have a few of these 1984 "DDO's" from a few years back when I started with varieties with the exact same thickness on the word GOD, which I can clearly see today is not the actual DDO. It's easy to find varieties that have a very subtle difference in them and then almost every coin you find will look like it, even though there are other subtle differences that are hard to see and make it a true DDO. All it takes is time and research to train your eye to be able to pick out the coins your looking for. Keep hunting for errors, it gets more fun the longer you do it!  Edited by CherryPicker1
