2nd One I Found - 2014 Cent DDO-003

This is the second one of these I found. The first was actually the coin that got me interested in the varieties of doubled dies and Mr. Wexler had it in his Coin World "Varieties Notebook" article back in Aug of 2016. This one is not in as good as condition, but I'll take it.

So this constitutes doubling? Man, I suppose I'll never be able to identify what's what in my own collection.

 

Yeah I'll give you that one. @furryfrog02

 

Bull

 

Not sure what you're calling bull on, but if it's that this is not a DDO then check the link above for Variety Vista and this: http://doubleddie.com/1169840.html
If about being in the article then here is a link to it:

So if I'm understanding correctly:
lots of people are scouring every penny to find minor errors like tiny DDO's?
I guess that I'm lazy. If I put every coin I examine under a scope, I'd be doing nothing but examining coins all day long?

Is that correct?

 

Yea!! Some people watch paint dry as a hobby some people run all day. Some search for varieties.

 

But you may find one with Lincon's nose hair doubled....... Look, I totally agree. If we have to magnify to this point to find a suspected error. What have we really found?

 

A big 10-4, good buddy. And they are using way too much magnification to trust what they think they see.

 

To me this one is easy to spot with10 x loupe. If you dont know how and what to look for probably would be a waste of time. Tjats why myself and @dchjr and @Rick Stachowski. Can make a little money on the side. See i got 1 cent in it and sell for $2 or $5 thats the kind of margins i like!!!

 

Would you look at this coin under a loop or microscope to find a DD?


Not much different than the one I originally posted.
This one is graded MS63 RD, worth $75. Not too bad for taking a little time. Find a MS66 and it can go to $1,000. Now you found something!

Understand folks . This is a big deal . Please read up on Single Squeeze Hubbing and then ask the question ? How are class 4 DDOs coming from the New Hubbing Era ...

 

Here’s a good explanation of single squeeze Hubbing https://www.cointalk.com/threads/single-squeeze-hubbing.290233/

 

Like I said or the article states . No explanation for class #4 doubling, from the Single Squeeze Hubbing Era .

Here's the latest of the class #4 doubling, from the Single Squeeze Era .

 

Now I can see the doubling on IGWT but it looks to me like metal moved from a die shift. And "quarter dollar" looks like classic MD?? I guess I need to read the links but it seems like the single squeeze hubbing method can still suffer from MD but maybe it presents itself differently?

 

"Extra thickness" doubling is doubly (pun intended) hard to discern because you are comparing all the time for every detail on the coin. Each coin takes considerable time to check because there are numerous varieties attributed by Wexler, Var. Vista and the others. Deformed details like extra thickness has helped me be more observant and thorough.

Some dates have 135 varieties listed for the obverse alone, the reverse had 108. The more you check and compare, the better you get: faster but more accurate as well. 3 weeks ago one cent I was looking at took me over 45 min. to check all.

Lets get back on Topic here .
Shield Cent(s) ............

 

@dchjr I stand corrected. Great web site link!

 

Not a problem.
