2010 d ddr ?

Anyone seen a 2010 D like this one? Looks to be a DDR strong doubling on the words Five Cents and on some of the letters on Monticello. Thanks

Looks like MD, notice the C shows another image on both sides of the C.

 

Thanks for your input waiting on Ken Potters thoughts

 

Whats DDR? sorry im a bit new and want to learn...

 

double die reverse = DDR

 

Thank you it does look like that I have a few im about to check mine ill post pics if I find anything

 

DDR = Double Die reverse a coin double struck on its reverse side. as to a DDO= double die obv. side double struck on the heads side. a RPM is a repunched mint mark. like a coin whos mint mark looks to be like you're seeing double or in some cases a S/D or D/S I hope this helps. You also can buy a book on error and varieties coins . One of the most noted DDR is the 1939 DDR Jefferson Nickel in high grades MS-65 a $1500.00 nickel

 

Thank you that helped alot.

 

YVW buy the book before the coin...just some friendly advice a good set of reference coin books will always come in handy. Also some books also increase in value as time goes by and they are out of print.

 

thamk you any common coin errors in pennies i could find because i have about 50$ worth of pennies i can look through

 

Actually doubleD die has nothing to do with the strike of the coin. During the creating of the die, before they went to the single press type of hubbing, they would create the die by repeatedly pressing the die blank into the hub to create a working die. If the alignment of the die and the hub weren't exact during each press then it would create a doubled die from which a doubled die coin would be struck. The way the die was out of alignment would determine what type of doubling it would be.

I know what you're saying, but as said by statequarterguy, it looks like Mint Damage.

 

correct, this is definately NOT a doubled die. I was just setting the record straight for two newbie members rather than having misinformation out there.

DDR = doubled die reverse. (Similarly, DDO = doubled die obverse.)

You will often hear the term "double die" but the correct term is "doubled die". (Note the final 'd' in 'doubled'.) What it means is that some elements on the die have been doubled during the die-making process.

 

These are helpful links to determine which are collectible types of doubling:

FYI Ken Potter got back to me and said the jury is still out on the 2010 D Nickel. After I sent him the picturs posted above. They are going to have a look at one coin I sent to him and from that make a call.

 

Correct. He's not going to make a determination based on pics.
