<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1865402, member: 5233"]Actually, with some coins there is. Maybe you can't prove it with all of them...because that is the real point, right? Can you prove a coin was a DDO if it is so worn? I think this question is one that would have to be asked about specific coins...I doubt a blanket answer exists for all DD coins. Many of them do have known die markers (other than their obvious doubling) that can help you identify them once the doubling is gone. If the coin has known markers like this, then yes it could be identified.</p><p><br /></p><p>A similar example would be a 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter. Very rare coin and the date is on a higher point where it easily gets worn. On many low grade examples, the coins are worn to the point where the date is invisible...but there are known markers to distinguish the rare 1916 from the common 1917. The same thing is true of many well studied DD coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
