Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6493 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 9:28 pm Coinfrog, I can definitely see evidence of push doubling—the material of the letters has been cut into, producing the doubling by reducing the devices. The doubling is directional. Where is the evidence of DDD? I thought the main indicators for Die Deterioration Doubling were shallower and wider devices (partly as a result of heavy die polishing) and an outline on multiple sides of the letters, with no clear direction.

Sometimes I feel that you think we are only here to classify your collection instead of learning from what was already given (information) to you thus far. Anyway - This is MD mixed with DDD and circulation flattening. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 9:36 pm @clw, after a couple hundred posts here, you'll find that folks start to expect you to be able to identify more things on your own. The frog can be a bit rough around the edges, but I firmly believe that they (and everyone else here) wants you to succeed. As to your coin, remember that MD causes step-like doubling that serves to reduce the width of the devices. This is nicely visible on the E and R of AMERICA and is distinct from the doubling evident on the two known DDOs: http://www.varietyvista.com/09d%20W...O%201976.htm "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6493 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 9:59 pm Can someone spell out where the DDD is apparent? I see a late die state apparent on Liberty and E Pluribus Unum, but I'm missing the doubling from Die Deterioration. I'm still grinding slowly through the differences between push doubling and DDD.
