No, sorry it’s MD.

 

Drats!!! Thanks

 

You hang in there! There’s only 1 1945 D DDR listed.

 

Surprisingly good looking coin for its age, too, at least surfacewise. Not unpleasing

 

You are looking at the wrong side of the coin. You have a DDO

 

Looks a bit like this, but not exactly. http://varietyvista.com/01a LC Doubled Dies Vol 1/1945DDDO003.htm

 

Maybe Wexler's 01 - http://doubleddie.com/723634.html

I'm going with 1945D-1MM-001. I think I can see one of the hairline cracks in your photo.

 

Second time today I didn’t look at the whole coin. @Kevin Mader Maybe this?

DDO? I'll try for closer pictures!!! Cool

 

I think that Marie's coin might have a ding on the MM, upper serif. But I think it's the 001 all around. VV, Wexler, and Coppercoins.

 

@Marie909 - There is a touch of surface verdigris on the obverse by the rim. You'll want to stabilize that. But don't clean it. Fun find worth about $5.

 

Looks like it. Check out the die marker in the upper hair and the mm placement.

So. My first dd and more to learn, why don't I see a double image, I see the wider images, how did it "double strike" and no separation in a image as it usually does?

 

Not double strike, doubled die. Not all doubled dies show separation in the devices. I know this is tough to understand until you truly understand the minting process.

Check this out and look at all the doubled dies on this site to help with the different appearances and the different die states. Also check out:

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks, it will help

 

Finding Doubled Dies gets easier when you know what to look for. This is a Class 6 Doubled Die. Read this first...but then read the other classes and how they are produced. http://doubleddie.com/203948.html
