DForgeworks New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 08/20/2025 12:41 am Found this little surprise S penny digging through coins given to me. Now I want to say this is a true DD based off of the descriptions and explanations between DD and MDD ive watched and read multiple time thats presented here in the community and on youtube/google AI. My gut is telling me I'm not that lucky and its a MDD. Now I'm confident on the Reverse, being the possible error, the obverse seems to show a tiny hint of doubling, but I'm mostly chalking it up to circulation damage(the second struck ring on the rim is what made me look closer), its hard to really tell (for my newbie eyes) with the thick gunk build up around the edges of the lettering and date Report this Post to the Staff
