I possess a 1973 Denver issue coin that possesses the characteristics of the DDO listed for 1973, the one which appears first when searching die varieties used by the Denver mint for that year. Previously, I posted for the first time, and having been at a public Wi-Fi with a less than excited person at 2:00 A.M; I was thus unable to upload my image prior to posting and followed up with an accidental publishing of my new draft. This time I hope to succeed in this endeavor. Thank you all for the feedback and the warm welcome I received as a new member even after my errant posting and wasting y'alls time. 2 questions 1. Is this an example of a genuine 1973 D DDO cent? 2. If answer is yes to question one; does it have any premium and if so how does it rank alongside the 1972 cherry poker's DDO? THANKS AGAIN TO ALL OF YOU!!!
I don't see any doubling on your cent. It has been circulated, not worth any premium, but might start you an your way to collecting coins. Ps. there is a lot of what is called worthless doubling. So learning to weed those coins out will get you a long way. http://doubleddie.com/144801.html
I am well versed on machine doubling caused by a die moving out of position during the impact of the strike as well as split plate doubling, die detereoration doubling and the like. I understand that hub doubling causing the doubled working dies is completely. Some are more difficult to assess than others but I did see a comparison with the 1973 D DDO and was hoping someone had viewed examples of that die variety in order to make a comparison.
Do we have another newbie that will not be happy, and may even be argumentative, unless he gets the answer he seeks?
Not argumentative I just didn't find the response to my inquiry to be adequate. "I don't see any doubling on your coin" whenever LIBERTY is extremely chunky and the date has some noticeable features at the height of the digits and the image matches the one I had seen prior to posting. My assumption, noted though that this causes for the resemblance of an anus to be projected from the source, is that before someone replies that they will actually view the images for more than half a second before replying with such utter certainty as to say there is no doubling on an example that clearly shows added thickness to the devices and that resembles a variety of coin that is noted as a DDO in Wexler's database. Thank you for your help.
I accept your answers and mockery however, and now move on to the other coins I have desire to be assessed by you all. Thank you.
I do not see any doubling either but it might be limited in the photograph whereas you see it. If you do not have a photoshop or a free one like Photoscape, they are handy in putting lines and arrows on your photos. The thickness of the smaller devices such as date and letting does increase through normal wear, whereas wear on the head or shoulders is resisted more. Increase thickness is an indicator, but there should be some separation or split serifs or similar action to qualify as a true DD. Jim
What is probably the best thing to do, give us the reference that you want us to compare it to. I in all honesty thought that your photos were clear, maybe something is missing? Maybe you need to give us more detailed photos, (some that you can see what you are referring to) and the reference. It looks like you have done your homework and know the difference. Well done! But you have failed to provide the evidence.
Perhaps submitting it to Wexler for a highly educated and respected opinion is in your best interest.
