yes it is...

 

Appears to be some die deterrioration on the "95" and the mint mark. No true doubling.

I didn't know the post was asking about doubling, I thought they asked if it was a 1995d, and by looking at the post, I thought it was...

 

Is this a trick question?

 

Y is the d like that

 

I think it is an e. e. cummings transition.

 

These photos are of a real 1995-D DDO i drew arrows to what is known as notches and that is what we look for when trying to seperate MD from real doubling, your coin is die deterioration or md. 1995-D DDO's are actually really hard to find.

 

please show me die deterioration or machine doubling in this photo...

 

It is the "ghost" or "shadow" images east of the 9 and the 5 and the D.

 

so die deterioration leaves a "ghost or shadow" image?

 

Good way to put it you are exactly right, i have seen so many of these while roll searching they get you going every time...

 

Best known examples are the 1955 that are advertised as the "Poor Man's Double Die", which of course it isn't a doubled die coin.

 

There seem to be more and more ee cummings fans these days.

 

I did find myself a nice "Poor Man's Double Die" about 2 weeks ago. I was thinking about keeping the other 20 or so as a progressive record of the die deterioration, but I just wasn't up to it at that time.

 

i've beeeeen a fan 4 aahbout 30 yeeers, but his stuff's hard to cumm bye.

 

I've heard that examples of coins with die deterioration doubling, you are likely to find that the doubling will be on both sides of the letters. Also, since dies showing die deterioration doubling are extremely worn, the affected letters or other design elements will have a mushy appearance as opposed to the crisp and distinct doubling usually seen on genuine doubled dies. Is this the case here?

 

I see far more deterioration towards the rim than towards the center, probaably due to higher pressure on that side when struck. Never really took time to work it out, but that is the direction of the metal flow.

 

That is what I find without exception (at least in my personal searching).

 

"I see far more deterioration towards the rim than towards the center, probaably due to higher pressure on that side when struck"
...does die deterioration have to do with pressure of the strike?
