I don't think the mark below the ear is caused by a doubled die, it's very weak. The reverse does look like a legit Class II DDR. The leg of the R is the exact place I check to spot these. You can also see separation on the horizontal bar of the last A in AMERICA. |

Looks like a plating bubble to me (especially based on the rest of the surface of the coin), but definitely a tricky one. Nice pictures!

Thanks SamCoin, appreciate the input! I'm still working on improving my photos, but I appreciate the compliment.

Or a polishing mark? (Bubble would flatten) But not the shape of a lobe.

 with Tanman that you have a Class II DDR. Can't tell exactly which one it is when comparing on Wexler's site. WDDR-002 maybe? |

I'm not seeing a DDR. The arrow on the 'R' looks more like a contact mark. If it were a DDR, then the other devices would be showing the same affect on the other devices. A DDR is not just one device affected. More in the same area would show hub doubling. Edited by coop

I agree with Coop. Not a DDR but a hit. You can see the follow through on the hit where it struck the left leg of the R about the midway point. And I don't think this is a doubled ear since the left side of the area ends so abruptly. (It is interesting how it goes perpendicular to the lines on the surface.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Thanks coop and Petespockets55, that makes sense. I seriously need to start looking harder at these coins! Thanks again!

Again I think this is a DDR. On the first A I can see separation on the horizontal bar and even notching on the lower right corner. The second A I can see the separation but if there's notching it's obscured by glare. Granted this would be a fairly minor doubled die if I'm right. I've found one or two of these 1984 DDRs and they are definitely difficult to photograph. More pics wouldn't hurt though, maybe try to get closeups of the notching and separation (if any) if you can. |
