Ali83 Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 08/11/2024 7:34 pm OK. I need help. I took the best microscope pictures through the plastic cover of my 1983 proof set. Under the scope my 1983 s proof penny has what I guess to be DDO / DDR. I took pictures of the letters that have it and then those who don't for comparison. In case I sound confusing, I just need to know what the blue marks are under/above the letters is. Is this a double die? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95694 Posts	Posted 08/11/2024 7:52 pm not seeing any DDO or DDRs here. It is probably lighting and reflections from the fields that you see. Collecting since 1972.

Ali83 Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 08/11/2024 8:42 pm Oh, Awesome! Thank you! I drove myself crazy with the lighting to make sure it wasn't a glare or anything. I had no idea, but a split plating is totally it! The blue tone of the zinc threw me off so badly I didn't know (just learning). Edited by Ali83 08/11/2024 8:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/12/2024 04:46 am I agree with zinc showing through the copper plating. Also,finding a coin with both a DDO and a DDR is rare like hens' teeth almost. Did you check all three reference sites before posting your question here on CCF? Your pics are very good considering it is a proof coin John1 Report this Post to the Staff
