allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 4:20 pm Unfortunately, I seem to lack the ability to be able to pick a proper DDO out of the examples listed on the various websites of choice. But being an optimist, I continue to try to master the skill needed. This 1983 P has a lot of action on the Obverse and the Reverse (no DDR unfortunately) and markers from Wexler's Coins seem to identify the obverse as DDO-007! The reverse has three Die Cracks, one on the left bottom of the Memorial, one on the bottom right and one from the left roof across the E in United. There are two small bars between column 5 to column 6 and column 7 to 8 on either side of the statue. On the motto E Pluribus Unum there are lines running between the letters R I B. There are many fine lines on both sides of the coin so identifying markers are interesting. Sorry for so many pics but as explained before, my field of view due to my microscope setup is limited. Let me know your thoughts and Regards. Report this Post to the Staff

levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 5:17 pm i see no doubling on this coin. are you saying you cant tell what a doubled die looks like? or are you saying because this coin has markers like DDO-007 that it is a doubled die? do not put the buggy in front of the horse. first identify a doubled die then use die markers to determine which number variety it is.

allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 5:57 pm Levelsofmadnes coin has markers like DDO-007 that it is a doubled die? THAT IS WHAT I MEAN. WDDO=007 hopefully! Thank you for looking. My record for finding doubled dies is terrible! Regards. Report this Post to the Staff
allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 6:10 pm Coop So I'm off on liberty because of the width of the letters, because it changes with the amount of overhead light that I use on the coin, so a little goes a long way. More light more width. I am beginning to believe this Chinese chip in this camera is contributing to my error on these coins! Report this Post to the Staff

allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 6:15 pm By the way, I believe it is a WDDO-7 not a DDO-001. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 6:16 pm Well how much does it take to disqualify a die number? Even the slightest amount. Thus the need to make sure to read the description of the doubled dies on the sites first. On the V.V site they include images that are not doubled. (normal devices) theses are there to use for searching for die markers that are not identified on the sites. Report this Post to the Staff
levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 6:22 pm your coin is NOT a doubled die. good luck on future finds this is from WEXLERS WDDO-007 this one is your coin Report this Post to the Staff
allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 6:24 pm I did not use Variety Vista. I used the Wexler site because I have had issues with VV before. Regards. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 6:35 pm On wexler's example, note the spread is actually enlarging the devices. That is what to look for on the devices. Not the little lines, but the enlargements of the devices. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/04/2022 04:36 am allcoinsaregood, First thing I recommend is filtering your light source. When you look up a coin,use all three sites; CC-VV and Wexler. I see no doubled die on your coin. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 03/04/2022 11:13 am Not a doubled die. Looking for die markers before doubling is putting the cart before the mule. First find the doubling and then use die markers to distinguish between similar doubled die varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
