Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6498 Posts	Posted 07/10/2023 4:02 pm All the 1940-S DDO varieties on Variety Vista are identified by the IGWT, date, and designer initials. I think those are the close-ups that people will request. From the current images, I can't make out if IGWT has glare, Die Deterioration, or something more interesting. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 07/10/2023 4:12 pm Middle pair of bands on this coin doesn't look fully split to me, but I'm interested to see what others think.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19150 Posts	Posted 07/10/2023 4:29 pm I believe were seeing machine doubling--LIBERTY has that flat, shelf like look. Bands are pretty decent, but not quite FB. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6498 Posts	Posted 07/10/2023 5:13 pm I would agree that it looks more like MD or Die Deterioration. The images have a weird 2d look and pixelization. Is that close-up from a phone photographing another screen? Or maybe the phone SW zoom did that on its own. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 10:00 pm Well, I tend to agree with the above. But if it were to be a DDO, it appears that it would be to the north. The doubling on 'LIB' is on the right side of the letters, and on 'TY' it is on the left side. no close ups of 'ER' though. Question: Would MD show movement like I described above? .
