<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 3100825, member: 24544&quot;]I posted this as a response in another thread but figured it was probably a worthwhile discuss to stand alone.&nbsp; It relates to the relatively recent phenomena of very minor DDO hunting/posting/questions that come up.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I do not understand where the interest in these very minor DDOs is coming from. They are not really errors per se because the doubling is so minor that no reasonable die worker would have rejected the die. Remember that all these dies were hubbed twice from the master and it&#039;s impossible to get a 100% perfect 2nd image. With high focus microscopes we are starting to find these very slight doubles, but aside from avid LMC variety collectors, what is the appeal?</p><p><br /></p><p>I had previous collection of late date large cents by die variety so I am not looking down on variety collectors at all. But variety collectors would be interested in these only in so much as they ID a specific die and would not place more value/interest on these over any other random diagnostic mark on a die. Where are all the posts about specific patterns of die polish lines, because at this level, the DDO is just a die marker like any other. If this interests you are you also collecting these by variety in general? That rarely seems to be the case, can anyone help me understand where this interest is coming from and help make sense of it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
