Since I can't find any reference images of a 41 D Jefferson DDO or DDR what are your thoughts on the images posted? @Rick Stachowski @paddyman98
Since I don't notice any significant notching at the corners where I would expect to see it, and the doubling appears kind of flat, I would suspect MD. Now wait for someone who knows what they are talking about.
The nickle has some serious metal flow lines and as the doubling is being pushed towards the rim I'd say Die Deterioration Doubling -DDD
But it's so well struck ,and will admit ddo and ddr's aren't my strong point as a variety collector .
All strike-doubling isn't imparted the same way. On some of the devices, you're going to see evidence of a hop. On others, a slide. On still others, nothing to raise your blood pressure about. These dies aren't always seated plumb to one another, and those are the sliders. When they're just loose around the collars from all the pounding they're sustaining, those are the hoppers. Die deterioration is also a strong suspect when you see a late die like this, as there's very little that can be done to restore the device cavities once those are compromised.
Well now - the plot thickens - I don't know then. Yeah - how can a well struck coin be from a deteriorated die???
It is flat and shelflike on E Pluribus to the North. Trust shows the deterioration on the flowlines (channels inside the letters). A real doubled die will have a common direction of spin, or slide. Die deterioration does not.
From the amount of die flow lines in the fields this coin is a later die state. Looks to be deterioration doubling
