Coinstrike Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 11/01/2020 11:40 pm I found this in my gas station change and have ogled it a lot trying to figure if it is a DDO or Die Deterioration. I'm hoping someone with more experience will help me sort this out. A picture of my suspected doubled date is followed by a normal 2020 LSC out of my pocket. Thanks in advance.

Coinstrike Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 11/01/2020 11:41 pm Just for the sake of clarity, the first pic of the 2020 date is my suspected double. The second pic is normal coin for contrast. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinstrike Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 11/02/2020 08:27 am Thank you John. I played with illumination and this seems to be the best I can do on it. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/02/2020 09:45 am Here are the Liberty DDO on this year/mint on doubleddie.com: To me, the date on your coin looks like Machine Doubling. Do you have a single light source? (On bulb, not a LED light cluster) Single light source create light and shadows. If you have more than one bulb, then it floods the devices and removes light and shadows. Report this Post to the Staff
jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 11/02/2020 3:26 pm I'm really torn on this one. I see what you are talking about, very plainly. I just dont' see any split serifs. Having said that I think it leans more towards a DD than not Report this Post to the Staff
Coinstrike Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 11/02/2020 5:46 pm Thank you Coop, I'm using an Anlov scope with a built in 8 light cluster of LEDs. I've tried turning that light off and using other light sources, I hope to crack the nut on that soon. Also, JM Kendall, thanks. I'm torn too, just can't figure it out so far.
