If I understand right on the large date the inner end of the number "9" points towards the end of number "7", while on the small date it points to the middle of "7" Also I could read that only about 50 dd 1970-s penny are known. Is it so? And, Is my penny is rare?  |

Sorry, your cent shows mechanical or Strike Doubling no added value beyond face. Look at coppercoins.com for in-depth pictures of the 1970 S large date DDO FS-101 and you will see the great difference in your coin compared to the true DDO - 001. Yes, there are less than 40 certified known examples of this rare doubled die. |

I do not see a big difference in the one picture I found on that site. (I did not go through all). At least I would like to know if I am right about a large date. Other opinions are welcome  The numbers on my coin doesn't seem to be reduced Edited by noobz

Note the contour of the listed die is all there. On your coin that area was flattened by the machine right after the strike. Note on your coin there is vertical wall where the contour of the device should be. On Machine Doubling it is on the outside edges of the devices, flat or shelf like. On a doubled die, the contour is still present and the hub doubling is visible. Same thing but in the opposite direction:  Date and mintmark affected in the same direction. |

Coin is not in the best condition, but if you can see the doubling on the "s" curved inner portion is facing the same dirrection as the numbers doubling. And inner botom one jast have some shiny spot as I think. I am going to take a better picture , I need to find that coin.

Lol. So be it. I still think that some Machine Doubling and other errors are cooler than the doubled die. I understend that dd are not that common. That is only in general and become a trend. For example, I have seen many 1955 dd on ebay and other sites. But some counter clashes, punches through wires, cloth prints, some bubbles and other are really Unique - one of a kind. I guess I am done for today. Edited by noobz

The DDO you linked from Wexler's site only shows on the 0 and is significantly wider at the point of doubling because doubling enlarges devices while MD reduces them (for raised features. Reverse is true for incuse). Even if it were that die, I'd still throw it back personally because it's just so minor. |
