Good evening CCF. I did some trading with my old coin collecting buddy yesterday and ended up with a couple of nice DDO cent coins. He likes nickels and I like pennies so we're both happy. This 1962 proof has strong doubling on the date, but I'm not sure what attribution to give it. There's a ton of them listed. Maybe VV DDO-007, DDO-007 or DDO-028. I'm leaning towards 007.

You can also check here as well. There's also known Doubled Working Hubs on the 1962 proof cents. http://doubleddie.com/307701.html

I see what you are saying but come on now - without your mag pictures would anybody else see that?

Marve, for such doubled dies, I think of them like snowflakes. They are delicate, interesting, and there are so many unique variations. They aren't as dramatic as big, chunky doubled dies, but you can't buy a big, chunky doubled die for a few bucks, either. =)

IMO that's a cool and easily seen DDO.

IMO not 007 doubling on the 9 looks more towards the east. where as your's is more north/east.
I say no to 11
After a quick study...I'd say I'm leaning more towards 28.

Marve - No coins are dumb. But some of the replies on this forum might be.

One of the things that I really like about proof doubled dies is that they capture the tiny details in such a perfect way. And the coins have never been scraped or banged around in a way that would damage or muddle the doubled features.

I like this 1962 proof cent DDO. The separation lines are clear, and it's a nice coin.

Excellent point, and that's why I search BU rolls for varieties, but proofs are even better given the double striking and careful handling. BU coins are still subject to hits from other coins.

Yes, and even BU coins can suffer considerable Die Deterioration that distorts doubled die devices.
