Message:: [QUOTE="Tankkiller275, post: 5157155, member: 114804"]So I figure this 1959 D LMC has some MD and DDD.  In order for MD to occur, does it alter the raised portions of the coin in the same direction?  If the "doubling" occurs in more than one direction does that mean it is DDD?  When I reference Wexler and VV I see aspects of a doubled die that are similar to my coin but there is just so much of it it has to be MD and/or DDD, right?  Not to mention, there is "doubling" on both sides of the coin, which I know is really, really rare.  I also see what appears to be "tripling" in some areas. Here are the pictures of the obverse:[ATTACH=full]1209303[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1209304[/ATTACH] I see "doubling" in the 1 and 9 in DATE but not in the 5 and 9 (as least not as much).[ATTACH=full]1209305[/ATTACH] I see "doubling" to the T and Y of LIBERTY.  I'm not sure if I see something subtle in the B and maybe the R.[ATTACH=full]1209306[/ATTACH] I see "doubling" and maybe "tripling" to the lapel which begins in the middle and extends up to the neck.  [ATTACH=full]1209307[/ATTACH] I see "doubling" that then goes around the face, although not to the bottom of his chin.  The area around the mouth on my coin looks similar to a DDO variety I referenced but in the reference it did not involve the entire face.[ATTACH=full]1209308[/ATTACH]  I know this is more than likely MD and/or DDD but don't want to miss anything.  I'm still new at looking at coins and potential errors and this one peaked my interest.  If nothing else then this coin will be saved for my own reference. I will post my reverse pictures as well. ~Rob[/QUOTE]
