[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 575345, member: 4350"]The point though is that on that 1994 cent where the doubling is not at the center of the design, there are several areas of doubling and that would be consistent with a doubled die. Your coin has one mark. Also, a large majority of die gouges are straight and appear as small straight raised areas on the surface of a struck coin. I really think that in your earlier post, you are confusing die cracks that are often jagged, with die gouges which are often straight. Also, if you get down to the smallest details on coins like the particular 1970 S DDO you mentioned, there is more to it than the upper part of the 7. There is other evidence of thickening of digits in the date. To attribute a doubled die , even a new one, there is a combination of factors involved. I have at least a dozen discovery coins that have been attributed by either Potter or Wexler or both and many are in the 1982- 1989 era. I am extremely familiar with what doubled dies look like on coins of that period and this one just doesn't fit. Thanks, Bill PS: I am never one to "poo poo" a new discovery when there is one.
