Thread: is there multiple DDO for the 1916/16 Buffalo nickel

So I have heard there are more than one major DDO for the 1916/16 buffalo nickel
Does anyone have a link to the other varities?
Or photos?
I found one a year ago that fits the 16/16.

I am sure there should be other ones as well, if so iI am itnerested in completing a set of the 1916/16 DDO varities...

Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

....i'm a big fan of pictures.

....ditto the dougster.

local Coin Shop Said its not the 1916/16. They said its not consistent and without the outer loop it doesnt match up. Also the underlying 6 appears to be a cursive 6.
However they are going through all my 1916 Buffs that I have and theyre going to see if I got any DDO.
Ill post back within an hour or two when I know.

But - there have been quite a few cases of '16 Buffs with mechanical doubling that were passed off as having the DDO. So be careful.

Mechanical doubling? I will have to look into this and how it differs from the obvious doubling of 1916 or well known 1955 Lincoln.

New to coins, new to board, but I guess my main question would be doubling on date vs lettering around the coin-in this case "LIBERTY" on the obverse of the 1916 Buff.

Reading a article in Coin World, I noticed the price this coin can bring. Selling a collection for a friend with property tax on 3 homes and out of work, it would be a nice bonus.
I knew I had this coin. Of course,I wanted to locate and take a close look.
It seemed there was some doubling on the date OR perhaps it 'appeared' after too long of look. (a common syndrome I would think)

Looking later at a photo I noticed the obvious, strong doubling on the word "LIBERTY". Searching the net I see this does NOT exist on the 1916/16. and took me to this post.

I will post pic Monday and only wish the owner of this collection would have read this board~over 150 coins, nearly all polished/heavily scratched.(I pictured gramps in his old age, a monthly routine of keeping all his coins shiny) Tough news for someone who received over the phone quote of collection

Cheers,

Thanks Grizz, I recall the term "poor mans double die" and this is what I suspected. I did do some searching and found similar site.

I also should have started my own thread, this is why I did not post picture ect. Being new to coins my head goes fuzzy when I 'what if' on such a potential high value coin.

Is there much of a premium on this type?? Ebay is only place I noticed and you can imagine the song & dance.

Sorry for the hijack, but did think other readers may be interested in worth/cost.

This is GREAT! It is far better than many other sites which attempt to do the same thing, but left me confused.
