1941-D Merc DDO/DDR FS-101

PwrHsePro

Can anyone provide information about where to find the DD on the Rev of the subject coin?

Cherrypickers only talks about the Obv, and I didn't find anything on it in VarietyVista, Lange, or Wexler...

Thanx,
Jeff

Here's some info from VarietyPlus

Here are also some examples from CoinFacts

Thank you!

I can see the DDO on mine, but not sure about the DDR yet... I'll take a look with fresh eyes later... right now I'm seeing what I want to see... the seller advised ot was a DDO/DDR... no biggie if it isn't, just would be nice if it was...

I didn't find it in VarietyVista... maybe I didn't know how to determine it?

DDR-001 is minor and is difficult to see.

Thank you... I use VarietyVista frequently for the Mercury's... and they have a section for DDO and a section for DDR, but I don't see that either location references the combo... unless it can be any combination of DDO and DDR examples...

In "comments" on this one it says listed as DDO 001

@PwrHsePro.... Have you confirmed that you have a DDO/DDR? Would be cool if you do and can show us pictures. Cheers, RickO

I think I did, I'm not sure that I can take accurate enough pictures to show the variant...

I want to give it another really close look with rested eyes and I can try to image it and would be happy to post if successful.

Tx!

True view of mine

On varietyvista if you click on fs101, there is a link on that page that will take you to reverse ddo, also fs101.
The most prominent doubling is in Pluribus and the right star.

I registered for CONECA a couple days ago, I have not gotten the confirmation email yet... I wanted to post the following, but probable can get as good or better answers here...

The subject coin is in a PCGS MS65FB slab that the seller advised was an uncertified FS-101 DDO/DDR.

I did find the pics in VarietyVista, but am not yet seasoned enough that can truly tell if it is, and if potentially so, worth sending back to PCGS for re-labeling.

On my coin, on the Rev, and as in the pic, the upper left of the U is kinda flattened out... is that what is meant by the term, "spread"?

I'm also seeing the indent as shown on the pics with the second T and E on the word STATES...

I'm not seeing a flattened at the top F in the word OF... or the M in AMERICA...

If I look hard enough, I can imagine seeing a few of the other markings, but that may be wishful thinking.

On the Obv, the L and I, and maybe the Y in LIBERTY do have that flattened portion, but again, not sure I can see anything on any of the other lettering...

Any tips or hints may help?

I wish my pics could show what I was talking about, but maybe more seasoned folks can let me know if a DDO/DDR in this attribution must show all of the signs shown in the pics, and clarify the word "spread"...

Thanx!

When you go to this page and click on Mercury Dimes, then on DDR, then click on the first 001 pic and it will show you many picks and you will see why it is difficult without a magnifying glass. If you look at the Dot between OF and AMERICA and the F of OF it appears close. Without coin inhand it would be tough to be sure.

With a loop, the F and dot you mention does look similar to the pic... the dot does show a bit of elongation toward 1 o'clock... the F not so much...

I have B&L 7X, 10X, and 16X Loops...
