Did I accidentally discover a new 1956 DDO?

I was looking at this nickel with a new scope I just got, when I noticed this. Could I get help with it, and if there is a good chance of it being a new error, do I just send it into NCGS to get it verified? Look at the I and B on the left side.

The E is very defined for it too.

 

I almost forgot to say, but I did compare it to other known variants, and I could not get a match.

 

It doesn't look like a DDO to me. ~ Chris

 

Mabye, I am testing the new scope out after all. Mabye @paddyman98 can help out. Also, do you see the extra seraph on the bottom left of the E too?

 

Welp, this new picture confirms it.

 

Confirms what?

 

Take a look at the extra seraph at the E. I think this is almost absolutely a DDO.

I don't see any significant doubling. There may be a trace of machine or shelf doubling in the areas you mention. Nice photo, though!

 

Ok thx! This was also a good test for the new camera! I will wait for a confirmation from paddy for the nail in the coffin, but I will keep youin mind next time I need error confirmation!

 

I say no.. Not a DDO.. Who the heck is NCGS?

Sorry

 

Sry, I meant PCGS, but thank you again paddy!

 

I see it, but I think it is MD.

 

Honestly, I don't see anything. The pictures are too pixelated.

It's entirely possible to discover new DDOs, I've found a couple myself.

However, I can't tell you anything with those pictures. Maybe try rotating it and shooting it with a different lighting angle? Something which appears obvious to you in hand may not translate well to an image.

 

Mkay, I will post a few pictures just in case .

 

Here are a few more pictures! Mabye this isnt just me seeing things. A few new perspectives may clear things up for the better or worse. A few of other areas too!

 

I believe I see what you are referring to on the E, now.

However, because of its highly localized nature, I'm pretty sure it is MDD. A true doubled die would be evident across all nearby devices - and I don't see it anywhere else. That's a pretty strong clue it is not a DDO.

 

And one with another light on!

 

Ok thank you!
