<p>[QUOTE=&quot;shoelessjoe, post: 4937694, member: 114886&quot;]The clue to a DDO is understanding the different classes of DDO, visit the site doubleddie.com, this will walk you through the classes. When you read the section on doubled dies, you should understand why the numismatist here will ask for other photos of the devices (the letters or anything else that is not a flat surface (called the field) both on the obverse and reverse. Why? Because one letter with perceived doubling does not make a DD, it could be machine doubling. I personally was more convinced that this may be a variety when a photo made visible an adjacent device. After you find this kind of stuff, go to doubleddie.com and see if there is a photo like your coin and read up on the Die Marks or other cracks, chips on the coin, which if present on yours, suggests you found a variety! Congrats, I personally think you have a class II DD but you need more photos, to eliminate a pivot or other hub issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
