Did you check all three ref sites? Looks like DDD to me with split copper plating. John1

Note the affected area? Note that it is the field that is altered. The devices are normal is size. On the DDO, the date and mintmark are both affected on this doubled die: _AAB.jpg) Note on the doubled die, the spread on the devices will be on the centers of the devices. Not on the outside edges, not on the fields or not on the inside edges of the devices. Spread on the centers of the devices. also if this were a DDO, then the other devices would also be affected: _AAA.jpg) On your coin you would see this, if it were this DDO. It is not that DDO. Sorry. But I want you to see why it is not. Now you know what to look for on a doubled die. CoopHome: DDD or doubled die? How to know the differences?

The 1995-D DD is dramatic. This is not it. I am seeing DDD and MD.

Agree with above, Die Deterioration Doubling or " DDD". the doubling usually affects all the devices of the obverse not just the date. Pretty much a a big red flag. Plus you can see the deterioration affecting other parts of the coin. Dont worry though, aside from being a cool coin to find in the wild, not much value other than for the collector with this coin. Legit ones are for sale all over eeee-bay

Have all of yall taken the time to actually click on my pics or zoom in? Are yall not seeing the photos of the "In God We Trust" which I have marked with yellow arrows pointing to the spreads in each letter? If so then why do you say it's a red flag if only on date when I clearly have photos of other places on coin besides just the date? I completely understand the DDD to the right of each # on date but I see exact matches to the reference photos listed above from coop which shows doubling to the left of each number and also letters in motto.

Amy939-- You have the coin in-hand--we do not. You can view it under different lighting conditions and at different angles, and can use any form of magnification you have to see more details. All we have on this forum are your photos--pics which are somewhat soft/low resolution (compressed). You have an advantage, we do not. I'm seeing Die Deterioration doubling--given the images posted. If you feel you have a legit error, consider sending the coin to a reputable 3rd party grading service for further evaluation. If you do submit, please let us know the results. Thanks.

Amy, You need to improve your photos, the better pics you post the better we can help you. Going with your pics, I see no notching on your coin like the notching in coops' pics. Amy, did you check all three reference sites yet? If you did, what attribution number do you think your coin might be? If you send it to a TPG,use ANACS it cost the least. John1

Look at the centers of the devices, not the outside edges of the devices. the outside/inside edges is where you will see Machine Doubling or DDD. Your coin is from a normal die, and was struck by an aging die. Again look at the centers of the devices, not on the outside edges of the devices.

I'm not seeing a DDO either, sorry. I agree will DDD and Machine Doubling. Not all coins are error or variety coins.
