1995-D DDO Penny?

This penny looks like it could be 1995-D 1¢ WDDO-001 (from http://www.doubleddie.com/506234.html) to me, but I've been wrong every other time so far so I look forward to all your input!

Sorry but this is not a Doubled Die. The size of the design elements are still normal . You will see these type of lines form on the numbers and letters as the die ages

 

Okay. Thanks.

Then let me ask this question: Even though the coin is too damaged to see the separation, would this second 1968-D be indicative of being a 1968-D WWHO-001?

Side by side with another 1968-D:

 

That look the same just one with more abuse or a worn die.

 

Yours is not a Doubled Die. These images are all from a 1995-D DDO.

 

Actually the coin you are showing here is from Philly, Not Denver. Huge Difference.

 

You are correct, I pasted the 1995. Here is the 1995-D. Still not a Doubled Die.

 

I want one of those!

 

You and I both !

 

How do you get those great photos??

 

I've been using a $28 USB microscope from Amazon with a $6 flexible lamp from Family Dollar; if I had to buy it all over again, I'd pick a microscope with better resolution than 640x480, but it's better than nothing.

Since my last post, I changed bulbs to a smaller watt "clear" bulb and have had much better results. Reduced glare makes it much easier to see what's going on.

That's the "Best of" doubled die, true -- but I was thinking something like WDDO-2, which is pictured as the following:



Much less pronounced.

However, thank you guys very much for the information and giving me a lot to chew on -- threads like these may seem mundane for you all, but they help someone like me learn a lot and allow me to be much more discerning in the future.

In retrospect, I agree that these coins have worthless (or no) doubling. Just wanted to clear some things up.

 

And that is how we all learn.

 

You probably should have said so in your opening sentence instead of

 

I like those minor hard to see doubled dies. It is a challenge to find them for sure. The 1990's Denver doubled dies are very scarce. The Denver crew has better die makers, and quality control. I have been searching at least 3 boxes (5 usually) per month for 3 years and have only found 1 1990's DDR, and no DDO's. Yours is just a normal cent. I have found more of the 1980's Denver DDO's, and 1970, 1960's.

 

Can you tell me more about your set-up? I assume it plugs into an iPhone or IPad. It takes great close-ups but what do you use for photoing entire coins.? I am really interested in getting started with coin photos but don't want to buy an expensive SLR and lens set-up. This looks like the real deal.
