Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 06/21/2011 1:08 pm I keep looking at the DDOs from 1974-78 and I cant really see what I'm looking at. They look more like a large date than a DDO to me. I mean what I look at the DDOs from those dates it doesn't add up to me. I personally think the top of the 7 would also be affected with the doubling also. I dont see how just the bottom of the 97 would just be fatter and not effect the top of the numbers at all. I mean when I look at the 1980s DDOs I can see where all the date is affected with the doubling. The bottom of the 9 in the 80s isn't the only thing that shows signs of DDOs. Can anyone explain how they actually got labled a DDO and what actually makes them a DDO. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/21/2011 2:40 pm If you do a search on coppercoins.com for 1974-1978 Philly DDO's they are class 6 doubled dies. The doubling seem to spread toward the rim on the dates. The wide tailed 9 & 7 seem to be the area it affects. Not vertically. Compare a normal coin with these images it will help you to see what is going on with this class. Report this Post to the Staff

There are nine classes of hub doubling, each with a different appearance and diagnostics. It is difficult to identify anything other than naked eye doubled dies if you do not understand the individual classifications. Report this Post to the Staff
