CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 01/01/2021 1:54 pm In looking through several '48s [LWCs], I see a lot of what looks to be distended doubling [cl. vi] but not many DDO listings. So, maybe they were used to the point of distorting IGWT and LIBERTY? Thanks Edited by CentSation 01/01/2021 2:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

MOS0239 Pillar of the Community 1110 Posts	Posted 01/01/2021 2:05 pm I don't think overused dies have anything to do with DDO's. Quote: So, maybe they were used to the point of distorting IGWT and LIBERTY? Probably Die Deterioration or MD. EDIT......unless I'm misunderstanding the question. Report this Post to the Staff

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3669 Posts	Posted 01/01/2021 10:20 pm Almost every year of the WW II and later cents involves badly overused dies. Production demands pushed die usage from 150,000 or so coins per die pair in the 1920s to over one million coins per die pair by the early 1960s. Any year in the late 1940s and early 1950s would have seen, on average, over 500,000 coins per die pair. Report this Post to the Staff

CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 9:26 pm Thanks for the replies. These 48's just seemed to be so much worse than the rest of my 40's. Yes, it is DDD that [somewhat] mimics distended doubling on the motto - Sorry for being vague, Thanks for correction. Edited by CentSation 01/02/2021 9:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
