But with this image, you can see that the date is not enlarged. On a DDO, the devices would be enlarged. Die one:  Die Three:  Machine Doubling reduces the normal size to an even thinner size of devices:  |

Not a DDO. Maybe, and I mean maybe MD on the top of the date. Need to have better pics. The better the pics you post, the better we can help you. John1 |

One more hope these 2 pic's are good enough.. Now when I posted this I never thought it was the holy grail, when I researched the 1969 S DDO'S there was 2 variations it kinda looked like the #2 not #1. Thank you for your time an expertise. I appreciate everybody on this site everybody very helpful, thank you!!  Edited by Madman99

Look again at the images I posted. Note the overall size of the DDOs and the normal coin, then compare with your coin. A doubled die is from a die that was created that by by the hub process of the die. Machine Doubling is caused the machine. So just as a normal dies devices can be altered, also a doubled die can be altered with Machine Doubling.  Not on all these devices, the yellow arrow. This shows where the machine damaged the devices even on a doubled die. A large percentage of these strikes were MD/DDO for this variety. They all came from the same doubled die, but the machine altered the coin right after the strike. A doubled die is only a doubled die, because of the doubling... on the die. Machine movement only cause Machine Doubling. So if the doubling/spread is not there, it is not from a doubled die. |
