Going through old wheat pennies and am still unsure as to what an actually DD looks like. Is this a DD?
I don't think so. I think you're just guessing. Your '88 isn't one either. Do you know the meaning of "flat and shelf-like"? Chris
If you'd slow down and not be so quick to read, yet not process, then you might have seen that isn't my "88," and even might have noticed it's a '98. Do you understand the meaning of "understanding?"
@Aprilcorp21 Lol. No need to get so aggressive. He was simply giving you an answer to your question. Btw, your forehead is too big
Aprilcorp21: DDO or DDR is a complex subject and really takes some study. For the Techno refer to http://www.doubleddie.com/58222.html To get a starter without intense explanations and look at the Doubled Die Characteristics Section with a Cooper Colored Label with GOD doubled. I am unable to see from your photos any detectable DD. Numerous amount of PMD (Post Mint Damage). Appears to me Shelf-like details but not able to determine. Maybe others can help but IMHO I do not think you have a coin with any premium. Within this article you will see references to "flat and shelf-like" details.
If you would slow down and read everything within my post, you would notice that I was quoting a comment by Cwbyfrmhllxx, not by you. And, if you had tried to make sense of his Post #2, you might have noticed that he was making a reference to his own thread about a supposed DDO involving a 1988 Lincoln which was incorrect. That is why I said he was just guessing. No offense, but you both have more to learn. Chris
Hello April, As someone mentioned above, John Wexler's site is an excellent way to get your feet wet with the fascinating and many doubled die coins, especially cents. And please do not get upset with the various replies because of the second post that had nothing to do with yours. That's why we encourage each person to start their own thread on their own coin, so the answers do not go off into the woods. Honestly my own take on your coin is as was said before, die deterioration doubling and wear and tear, not a doubled die. IMHO. P.S. Chris is a very knowledgeable and valuable asset to this site with his long history involving coins. He would never lead you astray. ( And he could probably teach you some nifty pool playing tricks also.)
