2006 $1 Silver Eagle DDO - ANYONE SEEN ANOTHER?

CoinNewBee

I just bought a 2006 $1 Silver Eagle from Great Collection to complete my set of gold and silver 2006 Eagles.
This 2006 (no W) has doubling on the liberty figure, LIBERTY, motto, date and laurel wreath. The doubling is partway up the curve of the features.
Before I do any photos to post I want to be sure this isn't just common on the 2006 silver eagle. I believe there are some later dates that the DDO is a pretty high % of the mintage.
Can anyone give me feed back on this DDO coin? A Google search brought up nothing.

Pics please!

Without seeing good close ups of
the area's your describing, I'd have
to bet that you're seeing very common
'ejection' / 'mechanical' doubling on the
ASE -

If you have a Cherrypickers Guide book, look at the sections on doubling and then see what you have. If not, take some clear closeup pics and post them.

We don't really need pics, as your description was quite detailed. It doesn't sound like mechanical doubling to me; you may be on to something!

CoinNewBee

OK. I'm not an expert with a camera, especially on such a shiny surface.
I've got some of the doubling in LIBERTY I'll be posting once I remember the whole posting process.

CoinNewBee

These photos of LIBERTY are all I can get good close-ups of.

Tell me what you all think.

I know it can be tough to tell a doubled die from a doubled strike sometime and this is one of them.
This doesn't have that squished out look that you see so often.
That's why I wanted to know this was common on the 2006.

a little help...

I'm thinking there should be a split serif on the 'E' but I'm not seeing it...

CoinNewBee

THANK YOU!!!!

I'm going with Fred with the ejection doubling. I've seen that a lot on Peace dollars.

CoinNewBee

So FredWeinberg Collector can you venture a guess about this 2006 $1 Silver Eagle being a DDO or not.

If it is, has anyone heard of one before?

FredWeinberg

As I mentioned in my post above,
it's probably ejection or mechanical
doubling.

This is a very common effect on
ASE's of all dates.

CoinNewBee

There seems to be a grown consensus for the ejection doubling.

guitarwes

The man has spoken. Fred has forgotton more about errors and such than most of us will ever learn about.

Notice the shelving above and below on the top bar of the 'E' in your last photo. This is indicitive of mechanical doubling.

CoinNewBee

Well I appreciate the help here even if my bubble has burst!!

Yeah,I'm with the majority. If and when someone does find a SAE double-die,It would really be rare! To think of all the silver eagles and all those years,I've had never seen one! Did anybody else? Now this would be a cool double-die. It would certainly bring a nice premium.

What about the DDO potential of the 2011 no mint mark silver eagle? I am still holding onto 5 of these "fat 20"s in a desperate hope that they are worth thousands of dollars!! Seriously though, any chance these will be designated as such?

CONECA has listings for Silver eagle DDO's for 1989 and 1992.They are both proof coins.

then there is the 2011 bullion coin (no mintmark) from the 25th anniversary set that is a DDO.
Mine is the CONECA first reported piece.

I believe they have potential. Only found in the anniversary sets and not on every coin. Doubling is apparent on more than just the date if I remember correctly. And this is the ONLY ddo for the series, right?

Did I say it didn't sound like mechanical doubling to me? I meant to say: That sounds like mechanical doubling to me.
