Does this look like a 1974 D Eisenhower Dollar DDO? I don’t see a DDO in variety vista

Does the I and T in Liberty and also the I in IGWT appear to have split serifs? Hoping for some opinions. Thanks

    I wouldn't know for sure - I've never seen a coin magnified that much before.

    Pictures are too difficult to determine, sorry. However, the famous appearance of the "stretching" of a determined doubled die is prevalent, "In God We Trust". At least you have that going for you, right? Hope this helps?

    I think I might see some split serifs, but if you need that much magnification to see them, is it really something that's collectable?

    Looks like the INGWT letters seem to match the WDDO-2. Especially the "GO"

    Yes, there is doubling. It is likely upline sourced (working hub or higher), and not a true doubled die. In the Ike series, if you identify tripling or quadrupling or dramatically wide spread, then you more likely have a true doubled die.

    From what I see, looks more like die wear.... Even if I am wrong, it is of such a minor nature it would not command any real premium. Cheers, RickO

    Yes there is die wear, which makes identification of the doubling a bit more difficult, but there is doubling present (likely upline sourced). And, I agree 100% that it would/should not command any real premium.
