Ondiwave Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 12/11/2022 6:58 pm Hey Hey- So I know theres no examples of a DDR for the philly mint —- but this looks exactly like the 1971 DDR on vista. the entire reverse shows doubling. Here are a couple pictures. but can get pictures of any area on reverse and there's doubling. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95983 Posts	Posted 12/11/2022 7:10 pm me too, but I'm not guessing. It sure looks like MD with the reduced devices noted. Collecting since 1972.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 12/11/2022 7:38 pm Ok, No good results with download and try to see from your pics. The trick here of the halves it is the stars on the first step. Seem also for me a MD ESW. The Unum seem to be grease or damage Die. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 12/11/2022 7:47 pm @ond, the doubling on AMERICA and DOLLAR on that vv link looks like MD to me too. As @sil mentioned, look rather at the stars. On several of them you can see two points. I think that is what you are looking for in a DDR here.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8750 Posts	Posted 12/12/2022 08:57 am Ondiwave, maybe I can help you more on this thread than I did on the last. When there is MD showing on the listed coins, they will sometimes make note of this at the beginning of the listing, in the heading. They did not on this one. What you are seeing to the west, in the listing is MD, the DDR is mostly thickness but there are also some notches that can be seen. I have marked up a pic from VV in different colors to show you what I mean. If you look at Stage B, you will not see the MD. As stated above, you can see it more in the "stars", there is nice separation. It is confusing though, when the listing also has MD. Hope this helps. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/14/2022 1:27 pm On UNUM, Note the direction of the distortion on these devices? That distortion is from circulation. The devices there are showing the contact areas on the tops of the coins highest devices. So contact will happen on that area of the coin first. Report this Post to the Staff
