Message:: [QUOTE="thatzafactjack, post: 1660193, member: 44947"]1996 d ddo Hey; There are listings for the 1996 D DDO #1, & #,2...as well as listings for 1996 D DDR #1 & #2 in CONECA's Master List.The pictures you've posted appear to typify the dreaded old, "flat, shelf-like" effect attributed to Mechanical Doubling, and a distressing absence of split serifs.  Once doubling is apparent I generally go directly into a hunt for "split serifs", followed by, hopefully, a patient die mark search   As a rule, regardless of the extremity of the apparent doubling, no seperation of serifs equals no DDO / DDR.  John Wexler's site; "doubleddie.com" has the clearest, -in my opinion- information available on identifying the differences; but always keep in mind, pictures are only as honest as the given light allows.  Nothing is more commonly available on these sites than snap judgements made on far too little evidence; everthing you need to know to determine what you've found is right at your fingertips.  Good hunting.[/QUOTE]
