pocorojo New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 06/12/2011 6:52 pm I have not seen many 2011 pennys in circulation as yet, I have received all of 10 in change so far, out of those 10 2 look like this. This will be the best I can do photo wise, if this is what I beleive it is, I'd like to know if anyone else has found it yet. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/12/2011 8:24 pm I can't tell for sure? It looks like more than one light source? That will make a normal coin look like a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 06/12/2011 8:49 pm Coop I'm almost positive this is a DDO looking at the thickness in areas. Even with numerous light sources it wont make numbers and letters thicker. It would just make MDs or DDDs look like DDOs. The 0 and 1s show of a definite Doubled die. If you look at the thickness in the 0 the top right and bottom left points DOubled die and the 1s how they are pointed rather than flat also points DDO. When I look at the 2 it seems to match Coppercoins DDO. Report this Post to the Staff
pocorojo New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 06/12/2011 9:16 pm The light source is all around, from a cheap mircoscope. I just found my third one like this, it was not from change but from a bank box of plastic wrap coins I have been going through off and on. there in doubling on "in god we trust" as well as liberty. I intend to send one of the three to have it certified! Report this Post to the Staff

Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 06/12/2011 10:46 pm For future references take photos of coin with one light source only. I cant really tell what I see due to light sources in the word GOD. But even though numerous light souces are hitting the date I can tell due to the thickness of the numbers in certain areas.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/13/2011 06:40 am Looks like a class 9 DDO to me. Here is a 2006 that looks similar http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=mds Congrats on your find.I would not send it to a TPG but I would send it to coppercoins.com. The fee for a TPG would not justify the value of the DDO,IMHO. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
twbber New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 11/12/2012 07:13 am Ive found one of these as well. It is considered the "big one" for 2011. I'm outside of Orlando. What state are you in? Report this Post to the Staff
