Another Possible LSC DDO - 2016 Extra Thickness On Liberty?

Yep, it's a DDO! The left arm of the Y is thicker than the right arm of the Y. Plus I think there might be minor notching on the bottom.

Yea that's what I would do. I've got a couple like that. I also found a nice unlisted 2015 DDR but the obverse of the coin was so messed up I threw it back!

personally I would say no, Not a Doubled die The word "Doubled" has a meaning for me as in "Two" The word doubled does not mean fat single device for me. I did not make up the definition of the word Doubled. Sorry for being a stick in the mud.

You can define it however you want for your own collecting, Jasper, but the term has a well defined meaning on listings like those on CONECA, Wexler's, etc., and extra thickness falls under that definition. The question was just if this coin is in fact that type of doubling, not an esoteric question about whether or not that type of doubling deserves to be collectible.

By making side by sides of the 2016 Liberty you could figure out if they are listed or not by making a Side by side of each of the doubled Liberty examples. Make them all the same size outside and placing them side by side.

I make mine 1200 pixels wide cropped by the outside devices. (or by the same size of the listed devices that may contain some/all the devices on Liberty. If you can't stack them up because you don't have software to do this, they this: Make the images the 1200 wide, the mark the die number so you know what die they are.
These are all three the same image, but if you stacked them up on the forum, this could work for comparisions with three images. Your coin in the center and a different top and bottom image to compare with.



Then reduce the height to as small as possible cropping the tops and bottoms of the images. Make them all a single image and then post them on the forum with images of you coin included. 2 or 3 images at the time. Then you can compare them on the forum. That way you can determine which one it is. You can check this with the preview reply button in the center before you submit reply. Then you can see them stacked up and compare, before you post them. (Where theres' a will, there's Relatives! A twist on an old saying)

Things change. The single squeeze dies are different. The locations on the doubled dies are different. Everyone accepts this standard. But its your choice.

Jasper, that's fair. This is an incredibly minor variety. If it does not interest you at all, or if you disagree with it, you don't have to collect them. You can even ignore them completely if you'd like to.

In my opinion, the cause is more important in determining what is/isn't a doubled die than the appearance is. Yes, it may not look like a typical DD but it's caused by the same thing. The mechanism/process that created the 2015 DDO-001, for example, is exactly the same as what created this variety. However, the spread wasn't strong enough on this 2016 cent for separation to show, unlike 2015 DDO-001.

But most importantly: Minor ones like this one would usually show notching, indicating two impressions (doubling), but the direction the spread is going on this one makes it difficult for them to show. So, the extra thickness is the main indication of the doubled die.

Also, by your stance of needing two clear impressions, you'd have to eliminate all classic Class VI DDs as well (Such as 1943 1c FS-101, etc.). Not sure you agree with that?
