I figured out how it could of happened. (The creation of that die) But nobody probably want to hear the story.

I actually do. I don't post much but I try to read a lot and your explanations of how things happen are fantastic.

C'mon @coop--help us learn something today!
I think that an acetone bath is a good idea. Too bad it likely won't do anything for that thumbprint on the rev.

Great pickup!
This is listed as a Class III doubled die. Many believe that the doubling on the 4 is from a 1948 date, which has a taller 4.
@Coop Don't be coy.

Very nice example CH27. Keep up the hunting. Acetone for sure if there is PVC. Got to get it off before it eats into the surface.

Thanks all! Acetone dip should be done in the next few days if all goes well.

Someone restart coop. I think he's caught in some kind of memory leak error. So try a soft boot first and if he doesn't give with the details, unplug him for 10 minutes and see if that works.

Well I thought that the 1948 hub and 1949 hub was similar but different. So I thought they may have used two years on this die. When you look at the first three devices, you can see how they are alike, but yet they are different:  Note how the '1's are slightly different, If they are used together, it creates the differences and both at the same time.  Same on the '9's.  Same on the '4's. With the last digit removed, it seems that this could be possible to create the 1949-4/4 DDO. But it is not just the '4' that is affected, all the first three digits are affected.  |

I remember your theory on this! I think it's quite plausible given the evidence. If your theory turns out to be true, would this no longer be classified as a DDO or just classified as a different class of Doubled die. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

Even if my theory is correct, it would still be a legit DDO. The 1942/1 Mercury dimes and the 1943/2 nickels were a similar situation. |

That's what I thought. It would be neat if your theory is proven correct. Thanks!

VarietyVista, Wexler, and CopperCoins all agree with "Coop's" theory. Listed as a Class III doubled die and notes the 1949/1948 hub.

Cool! I hadn't known it was accepted yet. I wonder if the next CPG will include this change or not.
