Found this in pocket change. What struck me at first was a slight thickening of the lettering on the reverse, especially in USA. Upon further examination there are separation lines and notching on the bottoms of the letters in UNITED and AMERICA. There's only one listing for a 1975 LMC DDR--it's by Wexler as WDDR-001, and this is not it. So....possible new DDR? MD? Thanks in advance for weighing in. I edited the post with an additional photo of the reverse--it shows separation and notching on the bottoms of the letters in OF.  uploaded/mb560600/20211028_1975-LMC-with-REV-doubling--REV-UNI-3-ccfopt.jpg[/img>        Edited by mb560600

If this is a new DDR, I think it would be a Class 2 spread towards the center. Hope to get some comments from the Coin Community, either positive or negative....  |

You can send it in for attribution but do not feel there is any hub doubling here. If there is, I would think it too little to list. I know what it is to look too hard for something sometimes and I think that is what is happening here.

I'm just not seeing any doubling where your arrows are pointing towards.  There's some contact marks on the letters but I'm not sure that's what you're seeing as doubling. |

I don't see any doubling on this coin. I think I just see reflection of lighting hte the point the arrow point to.

Thanks makecents and Tanman2001. Makecents, I know that this is not a WOW! discovery by any means. But, I see more doubling on the reverse of this coin than I do on that listed as 1975 WDDR-001 by Wexler. IMHO, the reverse photos of this coin clearly show separation lines and notching on the lower letters in USA. The coin is not in such bad shape as to conclude that all of the consistent notching and separation lines are contact marks. Thanks for taking a look---I am glad to here pros and cons from others as to whether this may be a new DDR. |

Thanks Dearborn. Based upon your comment, I gather that you do see doubling. For clarification, the lighting was filtered. I took photos from multiple angles with the same filtered lighting, and found the same doubling on the USA lettering which was posted. |

My error, Dearborn, I reread your post and acknowledge you stated you did not see doubling. I am surprised, however--there are clear separation lines and notching on these photos of this coin that are not the result of reflective lighting.

Thanks for weighing in, Dearborn and Oldfordman. Can you, and others, at least confirm whether you see any notching and/or separation lines on the lower USA letters I have pointed to on this coin? I am just looking for some helpful information. If not DDR, what are the unusual notching and separation lines displayed on these devices? Thanks! |

I too am not seeing any reliable signs of notching or separation on your coin. A notch and/or separation is very apparent on Copper Lincolns. I'm just not seeing anything at all that would be considered hub doubling.

Ok, thanks for weighing in, Bumpkin. I am not sure it is DDR, you may be correct. But IMHO, there is unusual notching along with separation lines evident on the reverse lower lettering of this coin. |

I am all about the non "WOW" double dies and understand your plight, most here do not. They like the, in your face, varieties and I will admit, I do too. I found myself at one point, picking things apart so hard, trying to find something, it took away the joy of what I first saw in this endeavor. I had folks that were much more knowledgeable and learned than me, telling me the same thing I'm telling you and finally decided I needed to step back and realize what I was doing. You will find some, maybe like this one, that you just need to put back for yourself and that's ok. I still do. -makecents-

Thanks for your supportive comments, makecents. I totally understand what you are saying. When I see something on a coin that is unusual or possibly noteworthy, and it looks like it may be a DDO or DDR---such as on this coin-- I post it in the hopes of getting helpful information. That what the Coin Community is here for, right? |

Well the stronger ones are the more valuable ones. The minors may get listed, but the demand for them, are a lot less.

Thanks for your response, Coop. Do you see evidence of doubling that may be a "minor" DDR? |
