Good eye to spot that one. I am not familiar with it and probably would have missed it.

Nice find! I remember when Bob found this one. We were all scouring 2016's, trying to be the first to find a DDR, Bob won.  -makecents-

Nice One! Note the elongated features! RobO411 was just asking about his 2022-D that he thought could be a DDR on the initials. |

I've tried to show this a few times to explain the difference between the DDR's and normal coins with these shields. Where it's a different type of doubling (Class 9), it's not what we are used to seeing with other types of doubling, where you have separation and possibly notching. Look at gigi's find and notice how the vertical is thicker and the horizontal is thinner, this creates a distortion of sorts. Now if you look at Rob's example and the normal example, you will see that it is consistent in all directions, no distortion. That is why I think that Rob's is just from deterioration, also, I have noticed that the Denver coins have a thicker font to begin with. See what you think about the pics below.  -makecents-
