Any die markers known yet for any DDR's? Any pictures out there?

I have one that's very close to coppercoin's 1964P-1DR-005
Perhaps not as much spread on the UNI (I need to shoot that side with better lighting). Also extra thick initials (not shown for the 64).

Sooner or later I'll have to break down and get a book!

I have a few 1962D DDR cents, but I honestly do not have time to take and post photos at present. If you post images of yours I will do what I can to match them up with what I have here.

Thanks Chuck. I have a very general album type picture not suitable IMO. I'll try some better shots tonight.

Well, after many pics and a neck ache, I gave up. Here's why I thought there might be something...

One of the few shots that may have shown something.

Probably one of the fastest markers to check is the location of the mint mark on both coins. That would tell you quicker than anything on your coin and the attributed coin.

I didn't have an exact attributed coin to compare to. I was looking at another year that looked simular. Mine 62D, compared to 64P (CC).
But thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to use it.

It's hard to impossible to see exactly what's going on in your images, but if what I am seeing happens to be hub doubling, then you probably have a new doubled die. I don't think any of the 1962D doubled dies I have or have seen are that strong nor are they strongest in that area.

But like I said, the images leave a LOT of guess work and it could be nothing.
