Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 01:19 am Ummm I cant find the DDR anywhere. I think I found a new die variety. Ill take better pictures so everyone can see. Edited by Double Mint 05/22/2011 01:46 am Report this Post to the Staff

Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 02:09 am Heres better pictures this is a 1994 DDR. Now there is one similar to this but this has differences compared to that one. For example NT the doubling is on the right side whereas the listed DDR has doubling on the left.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 11:03 am All I see is Machine Doubling on D of UNITED. Report this Post to the Staff
Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 12:34 pm Yeah the letter D in United is doubled, The letter A in States is doubled, E Pluribus Unum is lightly doubled, NT in Cent is doubled. Other areas might be doubled but cant really tell. This isn't MD trust me on that. I'm probably going to send this coin to get verified. Report this Post to the Staff
Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 4:52 pm I looked over the coin for a half hr and still believe it to be a doubled die. The D is not an MD for the outside of the D doubling is the same height as the letter itself. The letter A starts off real strong then gets weaker as it goes down the letter. The NT I'm 50/50 on for I've seen some doubled dies similar to this on the opposite side of the letters. Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 5:28 pm 1913-V, look at this photo of yours. Look at your arrow inside the D. Look at how the inside of the "primary" or "top" D is curved outward in the direction of the arrow. In a doubled die that primary or top image (in this case, the D) will always be fully-intact. There's other evidence of this foreshortening of the primary or top images all over your photos. That's simply a consequence of Strike Doubling, it's not a doubled die. Neither am I sorry to have to tell you that. You have to learn, sometime, and we're all here to help where we can. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...P5220704.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 6:39 pm Thanks for the info eddie. Oh well then I thought I had something because I never saw MD the high before. I still got alot to learn yet so forgive me for the assumption of me thinking I had a DDR. My problem is I got a little to excited about this and thought I found something good. Again thanks for all the replys. Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 05/23/2011 09:23 am Keep showing us your finds, until you're convinced. That's the goal. That's what it's about. It's not about whether I'm convinced, or somebody else is convinced. It's rather about doing exactly what you did, here. When you're not convinced, give us more. Knock heads with us. That's the process. You keep doing that, and one of these days, you're going to catch us. Report this Post to the Staff
ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 05/23/2011 09:46 am Don't give up. For the first year of collecting, I must have found hundreds of "DDO's" and "DDR's" that all turned out to be MD. But after seeing that many and understanding how this happens, when you do find a Doubled Die coin, it'll jump right out at you. Good luck"! Report this Post to the Staff
