CentSeeker Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 06:48 am Found this in pocket change collected over the years. It might be the 2010 WDDO-001. I noticed what looked like doubling in LIBERTY and did some online research to find out there is indeed a listing: 2010 1¢ WDDO-001 https://www.doubleddie.com/172501.html Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you. PS: This was the first day using the cheap microscope so I need more practice. Please provide me pointers if you think of any. Thanks. ------------------------------ I know this is a bad pic but it was the only one I could really see the crack going up thru the hair to the top of the head. Weird, you think you finally found one and suddenly you cannot take good pics. Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 07:42 am Looks like a combination of slight Machine Doubling as well as glare from your light source. Not a doubled die, unfortunately. Don't be discouraged, true doubled dies are very rare, but they are out there! Report this Post to the Staff

CentSeeker Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 10:03 am Hey thanks everyone! Yeah, I've decided I don't like the cheap USB microscope with built in LED ring light. I seem to be having trouble w/ lighting so I added a pc of paper onto the paper towel that is on the lamp and tried some pics w/ the phone because now the HD camcorder is taking bad pics again. On this one, I do not see any separation lines or notches. I only ever saw doubling on LIBERTY but it is hard with these types of classes so... My first interpretation also might have been because I am not used to looking at newer coins cuz I've been stuck in the 80s. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 12:10 pm Just seeing a normal die coin here. The DDO show distorted devices, your coin is normal. On that site, the upper image is the DDO, the second image is a normal coin. Using a side by side set of images. Quote: Top image:(coop added) Extra thickness and significant notching show on the letters of LIBERTY on 2010 1¢ WDDO-001. Compare with the same letters on a "normal" 2010 cent in the next photo. Lower image: (coop added) The letters on this normal 2010 cent do not show the extra thickness or the notching seen on the upper left corners of the letters. 2010 1¢ WDDO-001 https://www.doubleddie.com/172501.html So if yours looks like the bottom coin, then it is just a normal coin, like all the rest of them that are not doubled dies.

CentSeeker Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 1:23 pm @coop Thanks for clarifying that... I was surprised to even learn a variety existed for this cent when I first noticed something funny on it. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 7:41 pm Sometimes seeing it, helps to convince what is true. Sometimes we assume. Just need to read a bit more sometimes. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 09/03/2022 02:52 am I agree, glare doubling. Keep searching! Report this Post to the Staff
