John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/08/2021 07:13 am DDO6 is a proof coin and yours is not a proof. DDR5 is also a proof coin. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
hlw1976 Valued Member United States 422 Posts	Posted 07/08/2021 07:58 am I agree but you asked me what I was leaning towards Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/08/2021 08:13 am Yes. Just to be clear, your coin can not be what you were leaning towards because it is not a proof coin. I an not seeing your coin as a doubled die at all. It might be what is called a poor mans doubled die, which is really just a worn die issue. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

hlw1976 Valued Member United States 422 Posts	Posted 07/08/2021 2:59 pm John I was just messing around with you I know I can't believe it it's a proof set. And being a poor man's double die I still like it that's not the the big one but I'm getting close. Report this Post to the Staff

SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 07/08/2021 8:03 pm Just to be clear, the Poor Man's Doubled Die is not a doubled die. It's just Die Deterioration Doubling, which has no value. They call it Poor Man's as just a nickname, it isn't anything significant, but you can keep it for future reference.
