I've been catching on to the plenty of different DDO's the shield cents seem to produce. Just making sure I'm seeing this correctly. Not sure if it's ddo-001 or not from wexlers but still neat.

I can't tell from the images provided, but it maybe one of these.

The 'TY' area seems to be the most affected area.

You also have Machine Doubling present also on the left sides of the devices.

I gotta figure out how you get the two combined in the same picture to check for resemblance. Really seems to me like 001 considering the upper right of the y in liberty is much larger than the left and there is notching

I create layer on Photoshop. But you can place two images next to each other with the devices cropped close to the edges and tops and bottoms. That will allow it to be closer on the forum. Not as good as the overlays though.

99% sure that that's WDDO-001, after looking through so many of these, this one has a significant flow to the southeast that cannot be caused by Machine Doubling.

Great find!

Thanks silverCents! It's really cool finding stuff like this. Starting to really understand the difference between md and dd

Yes it is indeed! Good for you! Remember the "flat" doubling, or what I sometimes call "white doubling" is MD. Notice how the Y is stretched thick, that's the DDO.

Another example of MD on your coin is the L in LIBERTY. On the left of the L, you can see doubling in a shade of almost white, that is MD.

Yeah I can see the md on the L the I the B and even the E. Really helps to see both all together like this. Really shows the difference between the two. I see too many coins that have md that people think is a dd. It's completely different once you know what to look for

I was also wondering if anyone knew how common these are? I've tried doing research on it and there really isn't much information on it from what I can find. Plus no PCGS graded coin which I'm used to finding when searching a coin on google. I've found two of these same ddos in the same roll. Not sure if worth grading or not but they are in ms state definitely

Try to use ebay to check prices. This coin is newer, so I would put a price tag of $20-$30 on it perhaps. Not worth grading.

How about you show those other two DDOs? We would like to see them!

In my opinion, no, not cost effective enough to have it graded. That in itself would be a good learning lesson however.

Once again thanks y'all for the the feedback. I'm still waiting to find a good coin to send in to get graded. But here's some pictures of both of the 2020 DDOs I've found so far. They are very similiar but yet different

A suggestion: Save the money you'd spend on the plastic holder and instead, buy yourself a nice collectible coin that you may have had you eye on. Personally, as a rule, I don't buy stabbed coins, but, having said that, I do own just a couple slabbed coins I bought in my younger days, a MS-66 Mercury dime, and a MS-66 Walking Liberty half dollar. I bought them when I was just starting to collect as an aid to help me in grading, to compare future raw purchases against known high grade coin.

Some people only collect stabbed coins, that is of course, their own right to do so. I do also know there are a number of collectors just starting out that stab their first good "find" only to be shocked to find out the money they just spent on grading was twice as much than their new stabbed coin is worth. Moral to the story: do your research to see if the cost of grading fees is cost effective should you want to sell your stabbed coin someday. In many cases, you'd be better off money-wise to spend that same money into a nice raw collectible coin. No judgement here, just food for thought.

I appreciate it merclover. I have yet to purchase a coin or get one slabbed. All the coins I've found so far have been either from pocket change or coin roll hunting. The only time I will send a coin in to get graded and slabbed would be if I knew it would be worth more than what it would cost me. I'm mainly in this for the fun and enjoyment. Don't expect to find that one coin or multiple coins that will help me retire but I sure won't complain if I do!! Haha

Slabbing variety coins is expensive, as you have to pay for the grading and slab plus a bunch more for them to authenticate the variety. It takes a pretty good coin to be worth doing that. Enjoy finding fun stuff like this 2020, adding to your collection, and if you trip over some really rare one in good grade then go for slabbing. There really aren't that many that need slabbed, and storing in a nice 2x2 is perfectly fine.
