2006-P LMC WDDO-024 (Or Similar - These 2006 DDOs are impossible to attribute)

Another find hunting a big pile of change that my friend generously allowed me to hunt before he takes it to the bank. The doubling is more visible next to a normal 2006, but the spread is going northeast and notching is most visible on the upper left corners of the R and T. The extra height on the crossbar of the T is pretty dramatic next to a normal coin from this date, but maybe hard to see without a normal one to compare.

You may want to post the whole coin. Thanks

 

@PamR unfortunately, don't have the coin with me. Just the photos I took a few days ago on my USB microscope. The doubling is by far the most visible in the two areas I photographed though, so you're not missing much.

 

Yea, I'm not seeing any doubling . Sorry .

 

@SensibleSal66 Your apology is accepted, but you should take some more time studying Class IX doubled dies. Here is a link to Wexler's listings for this date. The doubling is very obvious when compared to a normal cent for this date, as the crossbar of the T is about twice the normal thickness. https://doubleddie.com/303301.html

 

Okay, I know those websites . Thanks /I'll take another look

 

Okay, wow that's a tough one . If you believe that you have one then why not send it in and keep us posted.

 

The possible doubling is in the shadow side and it's harder to see. Try to take another photo of liberty with the shadow to the other direction.

 

This coin is not class 9 doubling .
Class 8 at Best

 

As I understand, this is kind of a matter of opinion that depends on how you view the various classes of doubled die. Some experts seem to place the majority of single squeeze DDs into Class VIII, others into Class IX. I know that Coppercoins lists these as Class IX. Here is an excerpt on the matter from Error-Ref:

"Again, some ambiguity surrounds this class of hub doubling. Some variety experts have included the tilted hub, instead of solely the tilted die, as the cause for this type of doubling [Class VIII]. In this scenario the tilted hub accounts for
the majority of the single squeeze hubbed doubled dies (see Class IX) with or without a specific rotation to the hub."

 

It's not worth sending off a minor variety like this for attribution. If there weren't a listing for it on Wexler's site, I might hold onto it for submission, but I don't need to pay him $5 plus shipping to confirm that a DDO I've already basically attributed (there are a few very similar listings, but I'm fairly confident it's WDDO-024) is what I think it is.

 

Here is a side by side with a normal 2006 for reference. Probably how I should have posted in the first place, but I was too lazy to dig one up. and photograph it. Note the thickness of the crossbar of the T, the space between the bars of the E, and the size and shape of the interior of the bubble of the R (the DDO being more narrow and compact, the normal being taller and closer to round.

 

I think I might see it... On the first picture. On the top left corners of the letters. And you're right, they are much thicker.

 

You say you already know what it is. Even if it does get attributed, where does that get you? It's not as though these are worth anything to anybody outside of these experts who get paid to attribute them for you. Nobody else cares about them enough to pay anything for them. You already know what it is, put it in a 2X2, label it as such, sock it away. Then get some more coins and search for more. Nice pics, BTW.

 

The only doubled die I want is 1955.

 

I think there's some confusion, you're making the exact same point I was. I was responding to @SensibleSal66 who suggested sending it in, which imo is not worth doing for a minor curiosity like this.

 

Yep, most single-squeeze era doubled dies are extra thickness DDOs/DDRs like this. Without multiple hubbings, you can't easily get clear separation lines and spread.

 

Lol, I'm agreeing with you. These aren't worth it. I heard your reply, you're right.

 

Then I was right! There was some confusion. Mine!! Lol

 

most of this type of thing in the 2006 P sells for $1-$5 on ebay with like 1 bid regardless of the DD number. better than one cent of course, but not dramatic enough to get the attention of anyone not an extreme variety collector that wants an example of every variety, which is few and far between and the attribute and pictures really need to be spot on to get even their attention on it.

Personally I don't bother for any of these when I roll hunt, not worth the eye strain to me but everyone is different and so are collectors.
