Just found a 1971 DDO!

While looking through cents on Monday I found my first example of a 1971 DDO, in what I'd guess is probably XF grade. Just thought I'd share.

Pretty Cool. It's not considered a "Poor Man's Double Die" like the 1955? Still a neat find.

 

Thanks! No, this is a true doubled die, caused by "distorted hub doubling", whereas the 1955 "poorman's" is merely die deterioration, i.e. the die is worn out and so leaves a shadow by the outer 5.

 

^^^ Very nice, it's really prominent on the LIBERTY.

 

Nice eye, when i search cent rolls, i just look for oldies. I usually wont even check the dates, but just look at the reverse for wheat stalks or laurel wreaths.

 

I used to do that too but because most die varieties like this one don't stand out to most people, you have a better chance of finding something relatively valuable.

 

Then also check for the 1983 DDR while you are looking.

 

when you check just that, you don't find the good stuff like the double dies, blank coins, PROOFS!:kewl: if i were you i would check everything. you might be throwing away a 1999 wide am cent!:headbang:

 

Nice find!!

 

Nice catch! It's a beauty!

 

nice find! I always keep an eye out for the 72, 84, 95 ddo's, 98, 99 ,2000 wide am's

 

AgCollector,

Nice find and congrats!

Thanks everyone for the comments!

Larry, I believe it's the first one given in the CONECA listings, 1-O-II-E; FS-01-1971-101 (031), because the spread in the doubling is towards the edge and neither clockwise nor counter-clockwise.
