1968-s ddo

Hello, I was looking through my usual rolls of circulated pennies, and this showed up. A 1968-S Double die/Double stamped penny. I'm hoping it to be DDO, rather then double stamped, but you be the judge

Tell me what you think. Thanks.

Really need some better pics to tell

 

I don't know these pics are bad I will bet it;s MD or die deterioration doubling .

Working on new pics.

 

If it is the DDO -1, the easiest seen doubling is on the "In God We", and it isn't very widely separated. So concentrate photos ( maybe through your loupe or magnifier) mainly of that region. A photo of the date and "S" would help to determine possible MD.

These seem to be the best I can get...

Thanks.

Hi Jordan,
Yeah , sometimes we are limited by our equipment. I really can not tell for sure from the photos I am sorry to say. I will have to pass on a opinion.

Jim

 

Yeah, I tried taking it through my 10x magnifier, but my camera never really wants to focus through it.

 

We want to help you but it;s hard with those pics sorry try agsin with better pics

If possible use the macro setting on the coin. Approx. 5-8 inches from object should work. DO NOT ZOOM. After a clear pic has been taken, use either camera zoom/crop or once on your computer try to zoom in. It's worth a shot and hope to see a clearer pic.

 

The first pic is great, just the top of the coin is in a shadow. Try to take another pic like the first one.
