Nikileec1 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 04:58 am Found this 1997 DDO coin roll hunting and I'm looking to sell it but I lack experience and need confirmation that it's a true DDO. Is it a true double die? Should I worry about grading? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 05:23 am @nik, first welcome to CCF. Second, on the date and mintmark looks more like DDD or perhaps split plate doubling to me, but let's see what others think.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 05:47 am I'm with Spence. That coin was not struck by a die that had doubling. Keep searching long enough and you'll come across a coin struck by a doubled die. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 08/19/2021 10:29 am Given the slightly "ripply" overall surface texture, I suspect this is plating disturbance doubling, a close relative of split plating doubling. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
