RockinRohin New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 6:19 pm I've had this for awhile, and I just got around to really taking a look at it. I still have no idea what I'm doing, but it looks to me like DDO-003, 3-O-VIII... But could be MD? What do you guys think? Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 6:56 pm Might check the edge and diameter all around for anything out of the ordinary. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95405 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 6:57 pm Slight MAD strike - Rim Fin - Yes. Not seeing any DDO / DDR though. as mentioned maybe master die doubling on it, which means that EVERY single coin will have the doubling, thus making it worthless. Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/30/2023 11:10 am These are common striking events. Post strike, the damage happens because of the machine looseness of the dies. So it is altered it less than the second it took to be struck. No premium for these. Report this Post to the Staff

RockinRohin New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 03/31/2023 12:43 am Thanks for the input, I did check those sites before I posted here, but still wasn't sure. Also this coin is 19.2 mm in diameter, 1.7 mm thick and weighs 3.15g... which is a little large right? Does that change anything? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/31/2023 07:55 am Weight should be 3.1 +/- .12. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
RockinRohin New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 01:06 am Ok, how about the diameter and thickness? Is there an acceptable variance limit for those? Only asking because I really don't know. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 05:11 am All are in the permitted parameters. The thickness is took with a Micrometer and not with a caliper. Your coin is SD ( Strike Doubling) due to the age of the Die. No error or variety here. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 12:19 pm Seems a bit out of tolerance. Seeing the double rim on both obverse and reverse with the spread in opposite directions. Makes me ponder about Wide Collar issues. Thanks, Doug. https://www.error-ref.com/wide-collar/ Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 3:47 pm I recommend that all the words you used in your title you look up in the CCF glossary and learn what they mean. It will give you a better understanding what these terms mean instead of shooting in the dark. Some Machine Doubling noted, but that's about it. Report this Post to the Staff
