MorganMike Valued Member United States 63 Posts	Posted 09/19/2025 8:03 pm I have a 1943-D steelie that looks like it might be a D/D but I can't seem to find a reference that matches. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10514 Posts	Posted 09/19/2025 9:01 pm Right - Die Deterioration (Doubling) - not an actual Doubled Die Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 09/19/2025 9:09 pm I'm on team DDD with this one too. Wasn't there something about striking steel planchets that caused the dies to wear out much more quickly than when they were used to strike copper ones?

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8743 Posts	Posted 09/19/2025 9:24 pm Definitely Die Deterioration if you are speaking of the area to the east of the mm, no RPM. Quote: not an actual Doubled Die Marve, a doubled die is something totally different, but you know that. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
