I am leaning toward a DDO because of the different appearance of the 4's in the date. Note that the "triangles" of each "4" are of different size. For the 17! different DDO listed on VarietyVista, the three likely candidates: http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20...4PDDO003.htm http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20...4PDDO007.htm http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20...4PDDO017.htm Like to hear other opinions... Thanks, Report this Post to the Staff

snagglepuss31 New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 09/26/2022 11:31 am @Coop, I do not doubt your assessment of circulation flattening. However, what is the explanation for the 4's looking different? The flattening/broadening looks even for everything else. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/26/2022 11:35 am Same issue. Flattening in circulation. On a DDO on the 1944, the devices are enlarged on them: Note the distortion on the DDO on the 44 compared with a normal 1944 cent? Look at the centers of the devices, not on the outside/inside edges of the devices. Even on doubled dies, Machine Doubling can still happen: Note the reduction of the devices? Machine Doubling strikes again on this coin. (But still a doubled die with Machine Doubling) Circulation alteration and Machine Doubling never creates a doubled die. CoopHome: What creates a doubled die coin? a doubled die creates a doubled die coin. Machine Doubling never creates a doubled die Edited by coop 09/26/2022 11:40 am Report this Post to the Staff
