If it really is a DDO, the W must stand for "W"inner!

Well, not in everyone's mind.

A true genuine Doubled die should not exist after 1995 when the mint went from the "double squeeze" die production to the computer (CNC) direct manufacture of a complete die. This die is only used with a single pressing of the planchet, so there should be NO double images. But a huge coin market incentive would be lost to coin dealers and authenicators, AND since the cnc bit often slipped or vibrated, it would make a bad image . Now the coin "gurus" could have said, normal- no doubled die, but instead any slippage on the die could be come a "Doubled Die" in their listing and the coins presented as similar to the Double Squeeze of the traditional 1955, 1969, 1972, etc., and offered as rare and worth more $.

The topline grading services like PCGS, ICG, ANACS, NCG will only consider certain pre-double squeeze coins.

" Fivaz-Stanton Varieties from the Cherrypickers Guide, Fourth Edition Vol. II and Fifth Edition Vol. I (see list for exclusions)"

So I had to answer your questions truthfully, sorry, IMO Jim
