RedBeard3 New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 10:18 am How rare are these? I read an article stating that these 95 DDO's might have been done purposely in order to educate mint employees. Does anybody know the legitimacy behind this? Also how much rare is this one than the P version? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 10:31 am Your coin is not a DDO. The 95-D is more rare than the P. Quote: Does anybody know the legitimacy behind this? I have never heard of that. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

I've tried hard to take pics showing what I see with the coin in hand at 10x and that's the closest I got. (All pictures besides the last one are my coin btw) Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 11:27 am Your coin is definitely not the DDO. There's no notching, separation, letters aren't increased in size. The doubling you're seeing is likely slight Die Deterioration Doubling the appears stronger because of the glare of the lighting. I believe this is the article you're talking about: https://www.PCGS.com/news/1995-d-do...ntentionally Report this Post to the Staff
Classic Coins Pillar of the Community United States 940 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 11:32 am I pulled this one from circulation many years ago. I'm not seeing this doubling in the OP: Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 12:23 pm That looks like a 95-P,the op's is a Denver. John1 Edited by John1 05/18/2020 1:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 1:27 pm @RedBeard3 look on a variety listing site like wexler's die varieties, variety vista, or coppercoins. The difference should be extremely obvious. The devices (lettering on the coin) will be wider or completely separated on a doubled die. Yours seems to have minor Die Deterioration Doubling, which is what you're seeing on the date and mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
