Hi Silvercents, Comparing yours to the one on DD I can KINDOF see it (but the glare you mentioned not working with my old eyes) - do you see ether of the die gouges referenced on the site? Edit - here is what I am seeing enhanced a bit.. It appears to be in the right place? DE  Edited by DeadElvis

I've given up on trying to attribute these things. Average ~25 per box, so it's just not worth doing more than tubing them to me. I just write "single squeeze DDR LMC doubling in center bay" on the label and call it a day lol |

Yes I can find the die markers on this one, the die gouges. Sorry for these photos again, my microscope has a hard time with really bright coins.
Makes sense Sam. I haven't found a lot of these so I'm still 2x2ing them for the fun of it. Any coin that I 2x2, I post on here, unless they're die chips or other average errors. Might have to start doing that eventually too haha.

You are doing awesome SilverCents. I'm throwing away DDO / DDR cent's every day. I don't know to tell. |

Thank you DeadElvis!
I hope that with time you will be able to tell. The key is repetition. I hope this forum is providing that for you.

Your's matches, I think you have it. I'm still learning, I would not know a DDO or DDR if one bit me on the ass. These head spikes are nice! I'll keep trying. Edit - replying to head spike thread, Sorry! I think you have the variety though. Once I dimmed it down it matches. Edited by DeadElvis

Thanks! Don't worry, we were all like that at the beginning, especially me. Took me a good two years of learning to come to what I know today. I still don't know very much, but I can most of the time tell if a coin is a DDO or DDR. Still have very much to learn, not very good with DDRs, or Class 6 Doubling. Head spike? What do you mean? Can you enlighten me? |

Die cracks on the head. To me they are die events. Common as the rest of the life, that will will keep striking these and enlarge even more in time. I prefer die varieties that are present from the first strike until the last. Not die events.

Thank you Coop, I do know what Spike Heads are, but I thought he was referring to a variety on the reverse, relating to Lincoln in his chair.

This thread was about doubling on the statue bay, no? I might have made a mistake mentioning head strikes. I think SilverCents has his DDR. |

Yes it was indeed. The term "Spike Head" is when a die crack forms on the obverse, on Lincoln's head, or forehead. I thought that's what you were referring to when you said "Head Spike."
I simply call these "Doubled Bay"

No SilverCents I confused my topics from your head strike post. Forgive me and I will kindly back out of this thread. I do think you have the WDDR though.
Have a good evening all!

Oh I see, alright then. Well if you're referring to that post then yes that was a Spike Head, or a Head Spike as you call it. No need to apologize, we all get a bit confused sometimes. Thanks for your input!
You as well!
