Don't know if there's been a thread on this before, but could this start up a debate? 
For those that don't know, I am starting pharmacy school in the fall.

<< <i>wondering if the OP is looking for the producer of the DD with the most extreme spacing or the most valuable coins? i was assuming the former >>
Another great debate idea
<< <i>The Carson City mint, they made the 1876-cc 10c of course, quite dramatic! >>
Although struck in Carson City, the die itself was produced in Philadelphia.
As for the best, either 1934-D dollar or 1955 cent.

I was under the impression that in order to have a real dd you need to strike the coin twice? >>
No, the doubling happens when the actual die is being made. Therefore every coin struck from that die will have the same characteristics.

particularly within the 20th Century, came from the
Philadelphia branch of the U.S. Mint.

OK, you beat me to that one.

1888-O Hot Lips Morgan $
1876-CC DDR Trade $
Anything dramatic from S, C, or Dahlonega?

You'd never know this based on the silly posts on my thread last week.
I totally agree with you by the way.
