coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 03/18/2011 4:16 pm Yeah...I had no idea where it went. The correct answer is... Scooby Due with class IV (4) offset hub doubling. The whole secondary design is shifted in a single cardinal direction (this time to the northwest). Other doubled dies that share this class are 1936 1c DDO-001, 1983 1c DDR-001, and 1984 1c DDO-001 (the doubled ear). This is not the most common class of doubling, but it is by far not the lesat common either. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 03/18/2011 4:18 pm Of coure there are likely a number of other decent U.S. issued doubled dies that are of this class, not just cents. Thing is, I can't name one of them because all I do is cents. I believe there is a 1943 nickel with this class on the obverse, but I cannot be sure of it. Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/18/2011 4:26 pm Woo-hoo! So, the doubled image, not the primary image is the deciding factor for classifying the direction? Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188770 Posts	Posted 03/18/2011 4:52 pm You know what, I feel this thread can stay right here. It is a good for the "Modern US Variety & Error Coins" regulars to see examples from the dark side. The unfamiliar design may eliminate some judgment bias.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 03/18/2011 5:22 pm Umm, sorry...the spread is southeast. DDOs - direction FROM the secondary TO the primary. RPMs - direction FROM the primary TO the secondary. Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/18/2011 5:24 pm Thanks Chuck. I don't recall ever seeing that explained anywhere. Or I have just missed it somehow. Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 03/18/2011 7:19 pm Coppercoins, thanks; I must be improving, I was only two classes off out of 9! Jbuck, cool, that was kind of my thinking, too; it has some, let's call it, marginal relevance. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 03/18/2011 11:39 pm There is a nice 1939 DDR Jefferson nickel that is Class IV. There are also several 1942 DDO Jeffersons that are Class IV. Oh..the 1942 dated pieces are not silver alloy. Have Fun, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
