Grelko Valued Member United States 232 Posts	Posted 09/02/2020 6:03 pm I think I finally found my first DDO. For real this time. Haha, this was the very next coin I picked up since the last topic I made. From Wexler's 1990 1¢ WDDO-003 Description: Strong extra thickness shows on the date especially the lower nines. A notch shows on the lower left of the one. Die Markers: Obverse: None significant. Reverse: A small die gouge touches the lower right of the I in UNITED. A die gouge can be found between the lower N and E in ONE. Looks like a match to me. Report this Post to the Staff

okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 09/02/2020 6:38 pm I agree with both of Sam's comments - it might be and the date isn't clear enough. Can you get a better close-up shot? Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 09/02/2020 7:44 pm I believe I do see the extra thickness on the date and the die gouges on the reverse do match. I think you got a good one! Report this Post to the Staff

Awesome, I almost passed it up thinking it was yet another Machine Doubling. I kept thinking the numbers looked "somehow different" than the rest I've seen and decided to go back through the small pile I was checking (I actually pulled it from the pile 4-5 times to look at it). Then finally looked it up over at Wexler's and saw that the die markers matched up. Quote: It's possible, but can you make sure that the die gouge is actually on the field and not a piece of long or dust? Maybe quick acetone dip? I don't have any acetone right now (I've always heard that you shouldn't ever clean coins), but since it's already pretty bad looking, I ran it under water and rubbed it with my fingers to get any stuck dirt or dust off and let it air dry. Then I checked again and both the die markers are still there. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinTheTerm Pillar of the Community United States 1161 Posts	Posted 09/03/2020 02:43 am Ok great find then, congrats, acetone will not effect the coin, most people pass it in acetone before 2x2. Edited by CoinTheTerm 09/03/2020 02:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
