Looks like it might be. Have you checked coppercoins for the different die markers? I think I see the scratches between the D and the date. I can't tell on the reverse though since the pictures are not zoomed in.
coppercoin is the only one listing it, I will take photos of the markers which includes LIBERTY, and the MOTTO all obverse
I know one thing David Q Bowers said in an article in Coin World a few yr back in the decades special look series. 1974 Denver + San Fan were swopping dies a lot.I am still waiting to see a 1974-D/S or S/D cent Good Photo RS! !.
Hmmm...are you sure it just isn't the large date variety for 1974? Coppercoins even says in the description for die 2 Meaning that it isn't a doubled die, just the large date mimicking extra thickness.
No...worn die means die deterioration doubling. Not a doubled die. Die deterioration doubling: also known as die wear, or die fatigue. http://www.error-ref.com/die-deterioration-doubling.html
not all the time, the article states: sometimes, so that means not all the time Definition: Die deterioration (die wear, die fatigue) sometimes produces discernible doubling of affected design elements. We call this die deterioration doubling (DDD). Its appearance is highly variable. It is often raised but can sometimes be incuse. Incuse DDD is most often seen on copper-plated zinc cents, but does occasionally appear in other issues. Die deterioration doubling may completely surround an affected design element (like a number or letter) or may be restricted to one side. The images below shows die deterioration doubling on a 1955 Lincoln (raised), Jefferson nickel (raised) and 1989 Lincoln (incuse).
Rick...a worn die NEVER refers to a doubled die. The two terms are not interchangeable. There is not a single source you will find where die wear can be used to describe a doubled die. You can even ask Potter that the next time you see him. Your coin is a large date with die wear (meaning die deterioration doubling). When it says "sometimes", it means that die wear will sometimes result in die deterioration doubling, and sometimes die deterioration doubling will not be present. It has nothing to do with it being a doubled die or not.
theres no questions here, just showing a coin, and using what coppercoins uses as DDO-002, thats all, never said anything else, thanks noncent, I do like you being around, so don't take nothing personally
I understand that, Rick, but keep in mind that coppercoins no longer recognizes die 2 as a doubled die. The listing is only there for educational purposes only.
If you have Potter or Wexler Detail coin + have 1 of the 2 send the coin in. Tpg will use their detail Grade the coin to condition. coopercoin.com really is just a tool looking up dies Not Tpg.
