Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 07/06/2024 5:12 pm @cpi, have you compared your cent against the two known DDOs for this mint/date? http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...201988-D.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

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 07/06/2024 6:17 pm I agree with DDD here. The appearance of double letters moving towards the rim on all sides of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/06/2024 6:33 pm Cpitty93, It is DDD not a doubled die. Go ahead and study the reference sites anyway. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 07/06/2024 7:46 pm That is very bad DDD here. Note that only the top of each device is 'doubled', and it is all trending towards the rim around the coin. That is a classic indicator of DDD. Collecting since 1972.
