    I came across this oddity in a bank roll i purchased today, (out of 100 rolls) and i cant seem too find any information on a 1992 DDO but from what it looks like (with the "9's" it is a ddo) any ideas?

    That's not a DDO, it's mechanical doubling.

    It could simply be die-erosion doubling or perhaps another example of surface film doubling. (see: http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=34163&highlight=film )

    I hope Mike sees this one because I'm still confused about how to determine each of these types from another.

    But I really don't think its a DDO. The doubling does not appear to be on the die itself - well, not from the hubbing process, anyway - the doubling is entirely to close to the surface and too balloon-lettering like.

    Also noticed; it radiates from center of coin outward. Likely die deterioration. Just my guess.

    Not a DDO, but not shelf-like like MD either- I think this might have something to do with the plating shifting during the strike.

    any particular angles too which you'd like too see for better verification? I dont have a scanner so i cant scan, but i have a little hand held magnified glass and a digital camera :D btw, i bought $50 in Lincolns today from my local banks, so we will see what that will bring. (my eyes are hurting!!!!)

    The image is good enough to tell that it's not a DDO.

    Plate Split doubling or die abrasion doubling.

    The image is not the greatest but I agree. Not a double die.
