tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 08/14/2022 04:28 am DDO-003 is a business strike coin with a bar over the 2 in the date. Yours is a proof coin so no, can't be DDO-003, and shows no doubling over the bar of the 2 in the date either way. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8740 Posts	Posted 08/14/2022 10:27 am In addition to what has already been explained to you, what you are seeing is the doubled master die. It crosses all three mints. Scroll to the very bottom of the link and read the last listing. LINK https://doubleddie.com/384301.html -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 08/15/2022 9:47 pm @Make and @John1. With all the respect, you guys use wrong words. We have the HUB then the Master Die then the Master Die Hub and the end the DIE. What you talk about it is a probably master die hub doubling on some of those varieties and not the MASTER DIE doubling. I have nothing to say about master die hub doubling but not to play with the wrong words. Feel back please. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8740 Posts	Posted 08/16/2022 06:58 am silviosi, I do understand what you are saying but I used the exact terminology that Mr. Wexler used in his listing. I suppose you could take this up with him. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8740 Posts	Posted 08/16/2022 10:15 pm silviosi, did Mr. Wexler get back with you yet about his use of terminology? -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8740 Posts	Posted 08/16/2022 11:19 pm Alright, I'm gunna quit poking the bear, I've always liked doing this but know that no good comes from it.... silviosi, I'll try to ease your mind about this terminology that's bothering you. I have never heard you once have an issue with the term, "doubled die" and this is no different, It's just on a much larger and earlier scale. Yes, it is "hub doubling", caused by the incorrect strike between the hub and the die but is the "die" that is doubled though, regardless if it is the master or just a working die. Hope this helps. I looked for a bear emoji but could not find one. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
