<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 3743519, member: 106826&quot;]If you spend some time at Wexler&#039;s site and study on the types of Doubling out there, you can begin to train your eye/mind to look for clues that support attribution/discovery.&nbsp; I agree that on this 1989 DDO, it&#039;s hard to see anything.&nbsp; Sometimes the &#039;tells&#039; are subtle; thickness of the devices might suggest doubling...but it could suggest the state of the die itself (die wash, etc.).&nbsp; So here is what I&#039;ve noticed: most of the time the minor doubling doesn&#039;t carry significant value/interest.&nbsp; However, this isn&#039;t always the case.&nbsp; Take for example the 1995 Lincoln Cent DDOs.&nbsp; If you look at Coppercoins, the minor doubling is more valuable than the more obvious significant doubling (rarer and more difficult to spot).&nbsp; And that may be why the guy who finds a minor DDO can ask folks like us for more $$.&nbsp; Good luck on the hunt![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
