Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4395 Posts	Posted 04/27/2020 4:51 pm I think that's a DDR, but I can't seem to find a match. There are some similar ones listed though. Nice find! https://www2.briansvarietycoins.com...tings/cat/13 http://www.varietyvista.com/04a%20J...s%201940.htm Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 04/27/2020 5:58 pm DDO = doubled die obverse, which means the front of the coin. This is a doubled die, but it's on the reverse ( DDR). Great find! Report this Post to the Staff
Savagestacks513 New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 04/27/2020 6:48 pm I'm not real sure why I confused DDO with DDR but I appreciate the correction. So since this coin is not recognized by any grading services, what does a guy do with this? Is it worth reaching out to Coneca to try to slab it? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/27/2020 8:48 pm I need better level images of the 1. Five and 2. cents areas to see if the devices are enlarged or not? I see what looks like Machine Doubling on one side of the devices and possible hub doubling on the other side? Variety Vista wasn't much help either. It gave me an idea for understanding there formulas and descriptions: But not much help here on this coin though. Report this Post to the Staff
Savagestacks513 New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 04/27/2020 9:30 pm So I have a bunch of very close up pictures of each individual letter, however, due to the clarity of the pictures, I can't upload them because they're over 300kb. Any suggestions? Report this Post to the Staff

Your coin can be submitted and attributed. You just want to have a reasonable chance it will come what we think it is. Report this Post to the Staff
