1966 DDR or MD?

DDR OR MD?

I'd say it looks like the example listed on the CONECA home page...as the DDR. Do you have any more photos?

 

Is this your coin? If so, holy cow, that's like a thousand dollar find. (And I'm not joking...a coin broker friend of mine just sold one for 3 grand I think.) I think there are only 3 known specimens, and this would be the 4th known. Can we get more pics, specifically, ONE in ONE CENT?

 

Yes! Very WOW!

 

That's a rare find Tommy. Can you post more pics?

 

Actually I was going to see how you'd play along with this, but I'll save everyone the trouble. Why did you steal an image from Coneca's website? Hopefully the mods will see fit to do something about this.

Darn. I actually thought the OP had found something.

 

Well...way to try and pull a fast one, Tommy cent. I'll admit I fell for it...I was hoping you actually found something...but thankfully we have people here that know their stuff.

Keep postin' those "finds", bud. How's the rim-restricted doubling going for you?

 

Where is Jim...close this thread!

Hey I thought that picture looked familiar! Tsk tsk tsk

 

Jim....I still don’t see a padlock icon on this thread like the 1967p Kennedy ddo thread!

I am not sure what you are on about. You just conjured up that he was trying to pull a fast one or represented this as his find. You can't go running around imputing that sort of things on everyone.

He showed you a photo and asked you a question about that coin, which apparently you never noticed or perhaps in all your excitement just plum forgot to answer..

I'll ask it also DDR or MD?

 

I think the OP was testing us. Wasn't he the one questioning the members knowledge here on CT?

 

Either way, he asked a question. DD or VD?

 

We are all free to make up what ever we want in our own minds about what we suspect are everyone else's thought or motivations. I prefer to take what they say at face value, it really is a much simpler way of life.

 

A little research on your part would reveal the answer to be a doubled die, specifically, the rare 1966 DDR of which only 3 examples are known.

If the reason of the OPs post was to just try and "test" us, I do apologize. However, my first impression was that of someone who was posting a find. That is my opinion.

 

Perhaps the point he is trying to make is that given that photo, and only that photo it is not so obvious. It has the general appearance of VD, except the possible split on the T.

So many times DD designation is thrown out around here because it 'looks VD' or 'there should be more' kind of declarations.

This is a learning/teaching opportunity. Given only that photo, do you rely only on the split T or is there something else? How do you explain the shelf like appearance everywhere?

 

I also rely on the additional thickness, best noted in the left side of the U (although present on other letters) in conjunction with the split of the T that tells me the coin displays evidence of an additional hubbing.

 

I didnt try to pull anything. I asked a question. You guys are really incredible on this site. SMH

 

I do apologize for the attitude in my second post, but when you take images from one of the most well-known coin sites on the internet (without permission or citing the source) and post it just asking "MD or DDR", it makes us (or me at least) think that you found the coin. The page where the image is from obviously states it as a doubled die as well...
