Jblau190 Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 01:25 am I was looking closely at this 1994 D penny and it may have some doubling on "liberty". I know it isn't the best picture but I am new to this stuff and figured I'd ask the experts! Haha Thanks in advance! It appears to me that the letters are doubles just slightly to the left of the word liberty (not very sharp but clearly can be seen from what I can tell) and also very very faintly above it as well. If you look above the word liberty, in this picture you can't see all the letters here but look above specifically the "R" and the "Y". If I'm just looking too hard, by all means I accept that haha but if no one sees it just slightly left of each letter, then I may be going crazy! Thank you guys, always such a huge help without fail! I greatly appreciate it! * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. * Report this Post to the Staff

I'm leaning toward Die Deterioration Doubling, but would like to see the full coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Jblau190 Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 8:12 pm Is there a difference between DDO and DDD? Or is it the same thing but DDO just specifies what side and DDD is just same thing but not stating what side? Or is there a difference between the two? Sorry if a stupid question, I'm new to this field and still learning/don't know much at this point. Thank you guys again so much! Always so helpful. Greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 8:52 pm @jbl, yes definitely differences among the various types of doubling. Sorry to use so much jargon, but just click on the linked text to get definitions.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96250 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 10:19 pm a DDO happen when the design was carved into the die twice with some rotation separation. DDD or Die Deterioration Doubling is just what it sounds like and is caused by a worn out die that has expanded over time from the repetition and pressure of the presses. Collecting since 1972.

There is no carving involved, a little light reading. LINK https://www.error-ref.com/doubled-dies/ -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Jblau190 Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 10:52 pm Interesting! Thanks for the info! I relatively often find DDD on pennies. So I assume it isn't too uncommon/rare? Is that safe to assume? Thank you all again! Report this Post to the Staff
