    Danomite What do you say uh-huh

    Unfortunately I can’t tell from that picture. It distorts when I enlarge it. From your picture that I rotated and posted earlier, it looks like a doubled die. You can see notching in the I of IN and the O in God is clearly doubled.

    I agree with Danomite that the op's coin does appear to be a doubled die. In my first reply on this thread I was not referring to the op's coins. I was replying to where someone said they looked like normal cents then they came back and edited their post. Anyway in the op's first photo the letters of in God we trust looks to have a close northwest shift to them. notice how they look slanted on the very bottom and top of the letters instead of being level. I'm wondering if Wexler has this one in his files or could it be a new discovery. I'm not trying to say 100% it is a doubled die , I'm just saying it looks like it could be from the looks of the photo.

    I am not an expert, not even close, but I do enjoy studying and collecting die varieties.

    This is a DDO. Class VI. Congrats on the find. I don't see this listed. The only ones shown on Variety Vista are from 2018 and 2019 and show the notched letters on IGWT going the opposite way.

    Congrats! It’s always fun to see someone find a new variety! Was it designated as the discovery coin?

    Three cheers! We have a winner. Congratulations. It's always nice to see someone come up with anything new. We see so many that turn out to be nothing. :)
    PS. Who attributed it?

    Yes you would need to send the letter of confirmation in with you coin if you want it labeled as the Discovery piece. I have two discovery pieces labeled and slabbed as such that was discovered by me. Both are state quarter DDR - 001s There are so many error coin searchers it takes a lot of luck IMO to be the first one to find a new type. I may just have to start back roll searching , this is sparking my interest. lol
