NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 979 Posts	Posted 11/30/2022 5:33 pm I think I am gaining enough experience not to ask a really dumb question. But the jury is still out........ So here goes. Attached is a photo my 1983 P LMC (there is no DDR listed for 1983 with this damage) and an inset of 1999P 1DR-013. Though they are different years, with similar damage, one is a DDR and the other isn't listed. Is my coin an undiscovered DDR, or is there a difference between the two that I am missing? Thanks.

NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 979 Posts	Posted 11/30/2022 5:45 pm The Northeast corner of the 6th bay is polishing? I guess I'm hallucinating.... I'm gonna have to lay off the Cabernet. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Edited by NY Islander 11/30/2022 6:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8742 Posts	Posted 12/01/2022 07:13 am I would have to agree. You can see heavy abrasions throughout the bays. The column in question has had much of it polished away, leaving some clash remnants, that look similar to the doubling you are referring too. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 12/01/2022 07:56 am Notice how column 7 is very narrowed due to the polishing - the Mint person just missed the top corner when 'fixing' the die.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/01/2022 2:05 pm Note the differences between to two different images? The coppercoins example is raised. On the OP's coins these are Machine Doubling flattening on that area. Not a DDR. If it were raised, only one bay area is affected. The DDR shows both bay areas affected. Report this Post to the Staff
