tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 02/07/2023 02:56 am A fellow CCF member spotted this one and sent the lead my way. After spending some money and waiting for the mail, this arrived today. Looks like a pretty nice DDR, currently unlisted. Now to figure out who to send it to as getting new listings has been a bit of a puzzle for some time now. It would seem that the new 1914 DDO that was found recently got listed by Dr. Wiles as VDDO-002 and it shows up on the VarietyVista website. The CONECA website remains a disaster while VV is it's usual well-organized self, just getting a slightly different attribution for new submissions. I gotta think that is the way to go. 1914 Buffalo nickel doubled die reverse - unlisted Report this Post to the Staff

Trying to learn something today. Thx.

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 02/07/2023 09:15 am I see it as a later die state, not a DDR. But I'll wait for a more experienced opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15392 Posts	Posted 02/07/2023 09:53 am I see 'fat' letters on the reverse legends - does that truly qualify as a doubled die? Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 02/07/2023 9:14 pm Guess I maybe need to look at more Buffalo nickels. The first dot being elongated seemed generally enough for most of the DDO coins I've seen to at least be some minor doubled die. The bulging of the devices in FIVE nearly removes the spaces in between the letters but that is just die wear? I'll have to give this one another look. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 02/08/2023 08:59 am I agree with your observations bats. The spread on the dot separating UNITED and STATES is a bit more than I'd expect from Die Deterioration. Die Deterioration is likely playing a factor on the lettering, but again, not the cause of all of it, IMO. Looking forward to updates. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5238 Posts	Posted 02/14/2023 4:34 pm Appears to be a pretty interesting clash by the Adams apple. I'm in the DDR camp. The elongated dot confirms it for me. Report this Post to the Staff
CherryPicker1 Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 07/29/2023 9:50 pm @Jim0815 I'm thinking the same thing, that dot between UNITED and STATES sure has the appearance of a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24956 Posts	Posted 07/29/2023 10:50 pm Excuse my ignorance, but a single slightly misshapen dot is evidence enough to declare this a DDR? Please explain.

Please explain Well, an elongated dot is a good way to id a DDR whether it be on a Wheat cent of this Buff. I have seen many DDR on the Wheat back cents that have the 'EPU' dots looking like 'snowmen' These dote should be perfectly round and a slight movement when the die is carved will produce that effect - couple that with the incredibly FAT (northward movement) lettering such as 'FIVE CENTS' will clinch it for me.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 08/04/2023 9:09 pm I meant to send this off to Dr. Wiles with the last batch but forgot. It'll eventually get looked at. Report this Post to the Staff
