On the 1917, you can actually see strong doubling on the date and TRUST. Good luck though...... I have been searching for years and have never found one.
easiest way to see if it is a DDO, is to look at the upper curl of the '9' in the date. There will be a distinct split there, strong enough that it shows on the lowest graded pieces.
Here are some old images I made showing the major pick-up points of this variety versus a normal coin. I found a corroded AG example in a bulk group of wheats and I when I sold it used these in the ebay auction to show the attribution was correct. It is possible to cherry this variety even in cull grades just by looking at the 7 in the date and the last T in TRUST.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Lincoln set Colorless Set
If the date is clean you can spot it there, if the date is too worn look at TRUST,
Here is a pic of the word TRUST on mine
Was fun though
Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."

Wha? I only saw a DDO in the Redbook! Arg!

HEH! ...got him!
I did find an F-12/VF-20 1910-S though. It's a sweet coin. I also got a 14-S in G-4.
