coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 01:03 am The first question to consider is this: What is doubled? I see nothing doubled on your coin.If it were machine doubled it might look like this: Machine doubled coins show the flat step/shelf like appearance which isn't really doubled but damage during the striking process. If it were a doubled die you would expect to see the devices enlarged in a rounded fashion like this: On your coin I don't see any doubling that you would expect to see on a doubled die. I do see on your coin very late die state dies used to strike your coin. Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff
lucleus Valued Member United States 165 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 01:21 am Is there such a thing as a late die stage for the DDO? Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 01:48 am Die states can be early, middle, late and in between etc. All coins (dies) have these stages of die wear. Report this Post to the Staff
liveandievarieties Pillar of the Community United States 601 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 02:33 am And all of the stages of the 1980 DDO look CLEARLY like the doubled die it is. If your coin doesn't look just like the one posted by coop, then it's not the coin you're hoping. There aren't any exceptions, if it's not the same, then it's not the same.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 08:34 am PLEASE do not take images down once you ask a question about them and are satisfied with your answer. It makes the entire thread completely pointless because once the image is gone it's like taking the subject out of the sentence. Report this Post to the Staff
lucleus Valued Member United States 165 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 12:11 pm Sorry guys. I didn't realize that when I delete a picture from my computer that it erases it from here. Very sorry. Not the best with computers. Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 12:58 pm I thought that was why some images were disappering! Same thing holds true if you delete them from a third party media site. Report this Post to the Staff
