72S 40% Ike BS DDO

This is the best I could do. trying to capture the DDO, I have not tried identifying the Variety yet.
But, if you have suggestions they are greatly appreciated.
The doubling is best seen on the split serifs.

I am unable to find any tripling. Also, most of the die markers are missing. Through quite a bit of examining I think it is only a Doubled Die.

 

Thanks, Ill read them once I have a chance.

 

@Rick Stachowski I am a total newbie when it comes to Ikes this was a lot from a pawn shop, this one. 10-70D u.c sets and 67 sp set.
What, in layman's terms does " Shadow Ike" mean and why is mine one?

Does the evidence of tripling go away, in later die states?

 

Go through these listings, your coin is one of them .
I'll check too .

Here's what a shadow ike looks like .

 

It's a dark omen signifying that you've been dabbling in ancient coins!

 

It definitely is easier to pick coins to buy when you know about them,
Ancients are a challenge, a different animal.
Coins are coins to me, each has it's own story, and history.

 

I found some tripling. Top of I, but it has a major die scratch, in the field between IB and his forehead. There really isn't much polishing lines, on this coin, I will try to get some photos up tonight or, tomorrow.

Go, Broncos! The reflective fields of this coin are hard to capture.

 

I'll see you tomorrow .....

 

BS DDO? Sounds like a lot of the "error" coins that get posted here.

 

I thought about then when posting!
