1968 DDO Question---Caution Large Photos

erwindocerwindoc Posts: 5,046 ✭✭✭✭✭
So I was looking at my collection and I picked up on the 68P in my Roosevelt dansco album. Something about it looks like it might be a DDO. There is a known 68DDO variety in the Roosevelt series. Is this one? It kinda looks like strike doubling but then again, it looks like a DDO too, especially since it is in the right places(motto, date, initials). I posted the best photos I could take, but these are small coins and the details get fuzzy. I tried different angles to capture the details and marked the areas I have questions about. All opinions welcome. Sorry about the huge photos.

  • I would say, no DDO.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    I agree that looks like machine doubling. The easiest pick up point is the 9 and 6 in the date. If you don't see it there then it's doubtful.

    The picture quality isn't enough to be certain but it does not
    appear to have the charactristics of the DDO. This isn't a hard
    one to spot or to find though. It appears in about 2.5% of
    the '68 mint sets and is easiest to see on the date. It is es-
    pecially easy to see on the "6" of the date from an angle at
    about 2 O'clock.
