Shear type dd cent???

Trying to educate myself I purchased this coin. Sold as a 1987d dd shear type. Never heard of it...any ideas?

I think that would be another term for mechanical doubling. Got any pictures?

 

I'm trying now as we speak to upload the pics......having problems for some reason. I will continue to try

 

best I can do 4 now

Gotta find out why my files aren't uploading

 

Shear type? I have no idea what that means...did you pay much for it?

The picture looks like this '87D has die deterioration doubling (DDD)

 

I didn't know DDD could show seperation like there is on the 8.

 

Never heard of it either. Did a search and nothing. Kind of tells me it was made up. I see the picture and it was made up. Sorry, hope you didn't pay more then a cent for it.

 

It depends on the direction of the light when it was shot. (Of course I could be wrong, the picture is small and washed out - but it doesn't look like a doubled die.)

Anyway, I am working on photos and information for Other Forms of Doubling, here is a preview post on LCR that covers DDD: LINK

 

Great work on those photo's jcuve

 

Nice. Thanks for that link.

 

Thanks. Wait until you see my MD pics, they are really coming along...

 

Jcuve I think I paid .20 for it. The pic is terrible I need to find out why my first pics when I joined are so much better. Either myself or the wife may have set up the camera setting different. I'll figure it out in time I'm sure.

Thanks
John

 

Jcuve my coin looks almost identical to the 1989 d you have on your post.

 

Great link Jcuve! I have the same 1955 which he calls "last 5 shift". Looks like I need to find another "guru". Anyone know someone that knows errors in The Jacksonville fl area?
