I havent posted on this site for many years, so Hello again! I was going through my coins which I also haven't looked at for some time. I saw doubling on the first 9 and the 6 of the date, also with the S mintmark. I saw an image on Wexlers Varieties or something like that that has the same doubling of the date on their image listed as a DDO. My coin is probably just Machine Doubling or something else, but I would love your opinion please. Sorry for the poor quality images, I don't think I could do any better. Looking forward to your replies.      Edited by bellatype

Welcome back - It looks like this could be DDD here. |

Images aren't the best, but it's definitely less desirable than the real McCoy.  |

My images do not show what I am seeing. But an example just like my coin is here: https://www.doubleddie.com/314201.html(Not the first coin pictured, but the second one labeled "Best Variety" I think. |

The die scratch on the letter N of CENT should be visible in these pics, but I don't see it. Can you please confirm if it is visible with the coin in hand? If not, then you definitely don't have a doubled die.

I can't see with my eyes and my loupe I can't tell. I tried to get a picture of the N in CENT on the reverse.  |

Ok yes @bella. I agree that your coin doesn't have that diagnostic--and therefore it isn't that doubled die. Here is the best that I can do with cropping, enlarging, and enhancing your latest pic:  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Here is an image of the reverse where the die marker should be on the word CENT  |

bellatype, cannot tell if you have a doubled die or not with these pics but cannot be 002. The mint mark alignment is off.  -makecents-

I started with my phone camera and switched to a usb 50x microscrope. I think you can see what I see now. Please compare to Wexlers example, scroll to second example use link: https://www.doubleddie.com/314201.htmlCompare with my coin below:  If you would like more images let me know. Thank you all. |

That appears to be MD on the date. especially on the MM and the first 9 - the 9 is even reduced on the outer side of the loop.

It looks like a nice example of push doubling.
