Wexler lists a 2nd doubled ear as 1984P WDDO-008 - the ear is SW - there are heavy abrasion lines below the ear and under the chin. It is...
I have a section on Machine Doubling with a lot of photos on my website here: http://www.lincoln-cents.cuvelier.org/OFD/MD.html
Check for die 3 and 8 markers - it has to be one of them. Nice find!
I cannot see anything that makes me think DDO, but the light used to shoot it wasn't ideal. Coins like this tend to be plating bubbles, gouges and...
The coin took a hit - period.
Thanks for the encouraging words Car10! I'm an artist, well actually what is called a Teaching Artist, though I'm without a full time job (I'm...
I too heard it was a common high school experiment (though not one I have done). There's a youtube video floating around that details (and shows)...
Then it is likely a combination of the two, DDD and PSD, with the PSD on the Mintmark (MM). Of course we would need much larger pics to know for...
DDD is an accepted and used term - calling it anything else just leads to confusion, in particular with newer collectors who are unaware of what...
Thanks everyone! Great point...the kids are of course more valuable than any known variety or error! And they certainly bring smiles to faces...
I have never heard of Plate Doubling and am inclined to suspect this is a erroneous term for DDD on plated Lincoln cents, which do, to a degree,...
Hard to say from the pics but I would lean toward Die Deterioration Doubling (DDD) as opposed to Machine Doubling (MD) on a 1992 like this. I have...
That's a nice looking CUD - congrats!
1939P DDO-001 (pictured at the bottom) Sorry for the absence in visits to CT, since my daughter (whose picture is included below in a Santa hat)...
I'm thinking it is an old die crack (or some sort of gouge) that didn't get much worse over time and was buried under die flow lines somewhat...
Looks like a MAD
I am not sure what this is. I do not believe it is a Mint error. It cannot be, as already stated, a dropped letter because it is not incuse. It is...
Sure looks like DDO-001 (nice find!) Here is a stage A: [IMG]
Nice error, thanks for sharing!
That's a nice example! Is that a "struck through capped die" or a "capped die" - looks like it was struck by a capped die?
Separate names with a comma.
