Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5792 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 09:42 am I agree with others that chalked this one up to circulation impact damage to the U. Class 6 DDO's can "stretch" the base of the U's on the obv or reverse. There are almost always other signs to look for on class 6 hub doubling as well though. Look at the parts of devices parallel to the rim such as the date, LIBERTY, E(WE), EPU, wheat stems, etc. to help identify class 6 coubling.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97916 Posts	Posted 10/03/2022 9:43 pm looks like a rim ridge is starting to form with this die. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/04/2022 12:48 pm It is were a DDR, then the dots would be egg shaped. Cause and affect will affect an overall area on a DDR. But damage can affect one or more of the devices in the same area. Seeing is understanding. CoopHome: What will help me see doubled dies easier? seeing side by sides that show hub doubling (doubled die) and a normal die. the side by side will help to see the spread easier on a doubled die.

prisbrey1 Pillar of the Community United States 936 Posts	Posted 10/04/2022 11:01 pm it really does looking at the ones that you shared and the dots stretch on a DDO that would help me allot on the next one that I think is strange Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5792 Posts	Posted 10/05/2022 08:15 am Thanks Coop. Not sure how I forgot to mention those oval dots on the reverse for 90% of the DDR's.
