MintOrSpent New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 07:18 am Yeah looking at pictures on CopperCoins I see what you mean, yet this one is much more "extended" and it holds after turning the coin and while applying light from a different angle. I think questions like these have been a delay in my learning curve, as only looking at pictures can leave you misguided yet only reading research and you can miss simple steps to consider how you look at things.

MintOrSpent New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 07:31 am That's what I mean about the doubling having a lot of extension. How Machine Doubling is described I don't apply it to this yet it isn't exactly like example pictures for the 1966 DDO. That's why I was assuming some of what I have seen before is "D.D.D."

Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 08:38 am As a general rule, DDD will skew the letters along the rim further toward the rim. That looks like what you have here.

MintOrSpent New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 09:44 am Okay I think that information will help me in my coin searches. And still working on fixing up a laptop but I understand, definitely not as clear as original photos. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 5:02 pm DDD is only on single squeeze coins. Not seeing any doubling. I think you answered your question, [yet when light is applied from a different angle]. That's light doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
