At the inside of the nose, nice and rounded, not flat, a possible doubled die here. So far nothing listed at Wexler's.
For the record, when someone says D/D it literally means D over D. DD is translated as doubled die. However, often times I refer to a 1955 Doubled Die as 1955/55 or a 1972 Doubled Die as 1972/72 but notice that the reference is to numbers and not letters. D/D = D over D D/S = D over S S/S = S over S et cetera, et cetera, et cetera! (Where "et" = "and" and "cetera" = "others")
My reason for this question this time was because I had read that it's possible to have machine doubling and a doubled die at the same time. Not the common but it has happened. But you are probably correct.
Not necessarily. If I started a post with "Pass the Hot Potatoe".......... I'd never hear the end of it. Just trying to edumacate you the commonality of certain terms within numismatics.
Yeah, well what about the thousands of others who can't spell, can't abbreviate and wouldn't know an acronym from a synonym? You've got your work cut out for you so get to it! Chris
I know you are just using this as an example, Rick, but honestly, I don't see why this doubled die would be of interest to anyone. If we had a Numismatic Interest Scale of 1-10, I would give this doubled die a minus (-) one. Chris
I would collect them to build a set of them, almost every statehood and now, america the beautiful quarter have them . Remember this is a hobby, should be done in fun, thats my thoughts .
Yeah, and there are a lot of sellers on FleaBay having fun taking advantage of uneducated buyers just because some "expert" proclaimed that an error requiring an electron microscope to be seen is worth money. Chris
I don't know! Many years ago, reputable experts would have told you that if you can't see the doubling with the human eye, then it isn't worth more than face value. Chris
