What's the value and is it a DDO?

SpecGotCoins

Pls let it be a 🙏1995-D 1C DDO FS-103 (041), RD???

Aspie_Rocco

Does not look like it. In God We Trust should look like this

Does not look like it to me. Should look like this:

No, it's not.

You asked your question In the wrong order. You should have asked, "is this a DDO and does it have any value".

Spend more time learning the minting process and less time wondering if you struck it rich. Finding something in change that's worth a buck or two is a significant feat. It doesn't happen very often.

Remember, if getting rich from pocket change easy, most of us would be sitting on a beach in the Caribbean instead of trying to help newbies understand the realities of searching for errors.

The good news is that it has value.

The bad news is that it's worth $0.01.

@matt_dac that is the Philly DDO, the Denver one is in question here. It should look like the pictures @Aspie_Rocco posted.
@SpecGotCoins do you own a loupe? If not I would suggest picking up an inexpensive 10x.

Yes! My mistake.

It's hard to tell. We need a few more pics.

SpecGotCoins

@matt_dac thanks dude. I need one. I have something that works well but it's my camera that sucks

SpecGotCoins

I stuck a cheap binocular lens to the camera of my cellphone with black electrical tape to get that second photo. 😆 Can someone send me a loupe? Haha I promise to pay back with interest

@SpecGotCoins... Your cent is not a doubled die. Cheers, RickO

You need to relabel the top pic to say " clear die deterioration doubling in the circled areas"

You would benefit by learning the differences between true hub doubling (not many to be found) and mechanical, die deterioration, split plating diubling, which are very common, not considered errors and add no value

Here are links to Wexlers site that explain the characteristics of hub doubling and worthless doubling. The more you study and learn the differences, the less searching time you'll waste and the less frustration you'll feel when members tell you That your coin isn't a true doubled die

Yours needs to look exactly like this and it doesn't.

jonathanb

Very clear pictures with not a hint of doubling.

Several others have posted excellent info about what a doubled die looks like. This isn't it, and isn't close.

SpecGotCoins

Wow. Man.

JBK

In another thread you expressed great frustration with your coin searching efforts.

This thread illustrates why.

Definitely not a 103. Couldn't it be a 102, if anything? Need better photos.

As others have said, it has to look EXACTLY like the picture.

Check ebay or local shops for inexpensive loupes. There are lots of options out there.
