<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clawcoins, post: 3186908, member: 77814&quot;]I was looking at the OPs coin and started convincing myself that the stuff I was seeing around the U was DD.</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>I wanted to see what the OP was seeing.&nbsp; </p><p>I convinced myself it was DD for a short time.&nbsp;&nbsp; Until I shook it off.&nbsp; It&#039;s very easily to convince oneself of DD in many instances.&nbsp; Learn how the earlier DD&#039;s are made in the &quot;double squeeze&quot; time of which Working Dies are created in two presses from the Master Dies.</p><p>After the first squeeze they had to be removed and reheat treated (softened) to receive the second squeeze. Of course if they are not realigned 100% something odd like the 1955 happens.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you go here and take notes, bullet line items, you will start understanding the entire process of die making and DDs</p><p><a href="http://doubleddie.com/58201.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/58201.html" rel="nofollow">http://doubleddie.com/58201.html</a></p><p>and here</p><p><a href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" rel="nofollow">http://doubleddie.com/58222.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>and here&#039;s info on MD/DDD.&nbsp; Once again, read slowly and take your own notes in bullet line item for clarity</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/mechanical-doubling-what-i-dont-get-about-it.258196/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/mechanical-doubling-what-i-dont-get-about-it.258196/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/mechanical-doubling-what-i-dont-get-about-it.258196/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/5688/Double-Dies-vs-Machine-Doubling/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/5688/Double-Dies-vs-Machine-Doubling/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/5688/Double-Dies-vs-Machine-Doubling/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die-deterioration_doubling" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die-deterioration_doubling" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die-deterioration_doubling</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/isolated-machine-doubling/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/isolated-machine-doubling/" rel="nofollow">http://www.error-ref.com/isolated-machine-doubling/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>What you can also do is research which coins have DD.</p><p>Create a list, and use that list to help you search out any DDs out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are looking to &quot;discover&quot; a new one then keep in mind that it&#039;s easy to convince oneself that they had a DD.&nbsp; So you have to keep learning and reading what DD is, and what it isn&#039;t even in the double and single squeeze eras of the coin making process.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
