Sorry.

 

Here it is.

 

Not even close.

You can see the long die gouge at the top of the zero.

 

I see no evidence whatsoever of ANY doubled die, much less the incredibly rare 1DO-001.

 

Congratulations on a scratch tim but there is no doubling at all.

 

You are right though on one part. It is a large date.

 

Match the doubling FIRST, then look for markers. A guy on another forum found a 1996 Lincoln with the reverse die of a rare 1996 DDO. Nevertheless, the obverse die had been changed. Always remember, markers mean nothing without the doubling.

 

Coins struck from a doubled die will show doubling of the design elements. Doubling can be limited to one element or encompass much of the design. Doubling can be subtle or so extreme as to produce entirely separate elements of equal strength. All coins struck from a doubled die will show the same degree of doubling from coin to coin.

 

Correct. Coins struck by a particular doubled die will show the same exact doubling. Your coin does not show the same doubling as 1DO-001 (or any doubling for that matter), therefore, it is not 1DO-001.

From your quote above:

This means that if your coin doesn't show pretty much the exact doubling of 1DO-001, then it cannot be 1DO-001.

 

Tim, I am sorry to say I think these guys are right but I can say for myself I have looked at 72s and 55s so much that I talk myself into it and begin to see machine doubling as ddo. I hope I am wrong and you Turkey have it. But if not keep hunting. After reading opinions here and still believe ist a ddo send it toanacs and you will know for certain. Good luck mate

 

MAKECENTS thanks.

 

Its listed as a doubled die, but its rotated hub doubling. You guys helped me a lot.

 

Not sure what difference it is. Class I (Rotated) hub doubling results in a doubled die.

 

the difference is, it makes my penny worth more than the face value.

 

Where do you see doubling on your coin?

 

Its a large date over small date. So the date. But everything is doubled. I took the picture at an angle.

 

Tim , if I might give a hint on the photos, you are shooting them much too large for the pixel count, so when the thumbnail photo shows in the thread it is large , but just needs a little more to show details, but when we click on the "view full size" we get a very large photo ( 3200 x 2400 ) that can not show details due to the pixelation. Cameras ( except when using the RAW output I believe) will use computation to try and smooth the pixels and that is not a real representation of the true coin. You might try 1600 X 1200 or other size to see how they compare. You can use the "Test" forum and post different sizes and ask peoples preferences.
