I believe Jazz is using DDD to refer to Die Deterioration Doubling. Just thought I'd include this since the original poster stated that they are new to collecting. Sometimes new members will not ask what they mean as they already feel like they are imposing on us. Having said that, please try to use full nomenclature when posting, especially to newer members. Note that this comment is not pointed directly at you Jazz, but to all of our experienced collectors. It saves future posts to explain our shortcuts. Report this Post to the Staff
MyKidsCoins Valued Member United States 53 Posts	Posted 02/19/2009 08:45 am Thanks for the clarification on DDD ( Die Deterioration Doubling). I read a few post on Machine Doubling and found excellent descriptions from many members here. I am trying to gather some coins to use as reference, pictures are ok, but actual coin examples will help with the learning curve. Report this Post to the Staff

tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 02/19/2009 10:39 am No need for an apology Jazz. We are all guilty of writing quickly and using numismatic terminology in general. It was more a post to make sure folks know that this is very much a learning site and abbreviations may be difficult and not understood at first. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/19/2009 5:05 pm Novices? Hmmm...I think 99.9% of us are novices here, unless we're otherwise recognized by the numismatic community. All I know is that I'm such a novice--and anything I say here is open to dispute and correction (of course). Above all, I'm here to learn. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/19/2009 6:00 pm Also check out the bottom leg of the 7. On the large date it is much lower than the small date. Edited by coop 02/19/2009 6:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5613 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 11:30 am Great pictures, Coop, could it be said that on the topic of small/large date 1970-S cents the number 9 will always have pointed ends? Being a novice my self I thought I would ask! Report this Post to the Staff
