Is this a 1971 DDO... Sure looks like one but not sure..

I,m new to this coin collecting and am finding it a bit hard to figure out what is what.. So if anyone an help it would be a great thing. Looks as though the 1971 has doubling as well as the liberty. Thanks for any replies Rick!

The photos are too small to be able to tell.

I see! I will try to blow the picks up a bit more. Thanks Rick

 

I don't see any doubling. Typically, true doubled dies will have doubling where at least some serifs are separated and the doubled image will be the same height as the primary image. The Cherrypicker's Guide has an excellent discussion of doubling and similar artifacts.

 

The CPG lists a 1971 DDO (Date, LIBERTY & IGWT), but the photo is just too small for me to tell.

Though there is not specifically a 1971 DDO, if one does a search on DDO in the left-hand search pane, there are a few good examples of LHC DDOs:

Thanks for the info.. I have been using my camcorder to take the pick and when i zoom in on the coin it keeps going blurry around 6x zoom..... I,ll try and get some larger picks... Thanks Rick

Here's a few shots of mine

Maybe they'll help.

 

Edit: At first thought the images above were the OP's.

 

nice closeups prospector

 

OK i compared mine to the picks you sent and mine looks just like the 1971, LIBERTY and the IN GOD , can,t quite tell on the we trust... Thanks for the picks! Rick

 

Maybe a variation of a sort but not a DDO-001 .

 

Good to know.... Better i find out now and not get my hopes up. Thanks for the heads up .. Rick

 

Thought i would try to blow up this 1971 coin i have. The last picks were to small and this is as much as i could blow them up. Not sure if it my eyes but i think i do see some doubling mainly on the 1971. Rick

 

Here is the IN GOD ??

 

I found if you click on the black photo box it will open an original,making some larger photos.

 

Never thought of that. I was told they were to small to tell. Although if you click on the box of the pic it does seem to make it a bit bigger. Thanks Rick

 

Came across this 1968D cent.. as i was comparing it to another i noticed that the D was a lot more closed in compared to the other 68D i compared it to. Is this common among these coins... Rick
