1958 DDO cent

I have a friend who finds things and asks my advice (poor soul). I try and tell him what I know, but often run up against snags. He is very enthused right now about a 1958 cent he has found that he thinks might be a DDO. His pictures are not among the best, but here goes... first the PCGS 1958 DDO


Now a couple of detail photos from him



The doubling is different from the PCGS, but doesn't look like MD to me...input?

The way it is spreading toward the rim, looks a lot like die deterioration doubling, IMO

 

That's not Doubled Die doubling

 

Swing & a miss!

 

Yes, that was my first thought as well. Just an old worn out die.

 

Could it be Die Deterioration Doubling? I'll ask for a picture of the "liberty'. Are there other DDO's for this date?

 

Variety Vista is only showing 1, there may be other minor ones in the CONECA files.

 

I think it was caused by a worn die and it doubled pretty nicely but not a doubled die that you want.

 

Think you are right...

 

I'd still keep it. To me that's one beautiful looking issue.
