Is this 1943 Dime a DDO?

I see doubling at the date and in god we trust pretty well.
Its tough for me to get clearer shots. I re-took the images and these are what I got.

The date looks doubled to me.
I will try to take better images and replace.

Doesn't look like anything to me. What resources did you use (e.g., VarietyVista, doubledie.com) to check your work?

There are none listed via variety vista nor pcgs, but the 1 and 3 appear to have looks of doubling notches, but I'm not a specialist by any means. Someone more familiar with these attributions will hopefully reply. Good luck.

I just took another image
The bottom of the 3 looks really thick and in person all 4 numbers look doubled.

They don't look doubled in your photos.

You did not answer my question; what resources did you use to check your work?

Probably just MD

Here on the Forum, we often advise newbies that they should learn the basics about distinguishing doubled dies from other forms of doubling before actually looking for any doubled dies. We also advise that, rather than searching random coins for doubled dies, they should study known varieties and then search for those specific varieties. This is the advise you should be following if you are interested in finding doubled die varieties.

My guess is that the lack of an answer was an answer.

I checked variety vista and did not see anything so I posted it here.
As a newbie I was hoping that I could gather some information here on this coin forum.

Your own research gives it a 99.999% chance of being MD.

Doctor or machine doubling?

As an active forum member, you (edit to clarify that I mean the OP) probably know this already, so this reply is more for future readers who do not know…

MD stands for machine doubling. It’s a type of one-off doubling that can occur during minting. This is in contrast to DD or doubled die, which is the “valuable” sort of doubling because it creates thousands of coins with identical doubling. There are distinctive feature which can be used to distinguish them.

Ok this is enough info to start a productive web search.

Oh, and if you ask if the coin is “DDO”, that’s a doubled die you are asking about. Machine doubling does not create a DDO… by definition.

Doctor, of course.
