It is pretty hard to discover a new DD as it would have to be on the striking die which means that there could have been up to a million produced. If this was the case, it would probably have been discovered by now. I'm not saying it is impossible, just highly unlikely. Report this Post to the Staff

NotoriousABE New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 05/06/2021 09:25 am I appreciate the feedback @John1 @JimmyD @coop !! Especially with the amount of circulated coins that are encountered while coin roll hunting, is it worth even looking under the microscope if its not a key date or is not known to have a RPM or variety? What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/06/2021 09:45 am I always look. Because just because a unknown new variety can happen, I will find it, as I check them all for what has happened on other years around that year. Case in point: 2004 had some DDRs on the EPU area. So I started checking other years to see if this happened before or after this year. Well guess what: Quote: 2002-D 1¢ WDDR-002 "Best Of" Variety Description: A nice spread to the west shows on the left side of EPU and the left dots. Die Markers: Obverse: A die gouge can be found south of the first 2 in the date. Reverse: A die gouge can be found to the left of the lower U in UNITED. A die gouge can be found to the left of the lower L in PLURIBUS. A die gouge can be found above the upper left dot. Die pitting can be found above the end of the left Memorial base. A die gouge can be found in the upper first bay.

You never know what you will see on the next coin. Report this Post to the Staff
