New 1944-D Dime Doubled Die Obverse

I recently picked this coin at a coin show out of a dealer's $4 "junk" bin.
I've only found a listing for one 1944-D doubled die dime (DDO-001), and this one doesn't match the doubling on that one, or the mint mark placement:
1944-D 10¢ WDDO-001
The doubling on my coin is somewhat apparent on the motto IGWT.
But it is most obvious on the AW designer's initials.
The feather tip lips also have extra thickness (see arrows).
So is this a new unlisted 1944-D 10¢ Double Die Obverse ?

Thanks for that. I'm not sure why I wasn't able to find that page in my searching.
Anyway, my coin matches that Wiles DDO-001, including the die scratch locations.
But it doesn't match the Wexler DDO-001 shown on the page I linked in the first post.
I assume the Wiles listing is correct.

oops. i didnt click ur link but that mm is for sure diff.
not sure if that wexler one is a diff die, wrong image etc. perhaps like vams, it just a die 1, 2 situation.
not sure what i'd do. look up more example and/or contact wexler/wiles.
gratz either way and images are pretty nice.
on another subject. i picked up a 96o v22 in a pcgs au53 holder. put images on the page since it is such a controversial (apparently) vam. would like to xrf it but doubt it will work through the plastic.

Where are the pictures ? I'd like to take a look. I have a couple 1896-O VAM-22 (not in slabs, however).
XRF testing on a coin in a slab is possible, although accuracy is not as good compared with testing the coin out of the holder.

since they're tough to find, i'll go ahead and linkify them for ya.

I've seen those pictures, I thought maybe you had some different ones (in the PCGS slab).
Anyway, I think that the 1896-O VAM-22 is a vintage "privately-made" piece.
Thanks for showing it.
I'm having a hard time seeing any doubling.
^^^This. Not seeing much here. Sorry. Totally unexciting.

Don't see it and maybe I need a monitor bigger than 24"?

sorry but I just don't get it.
The doubling is very minor, except for the AW designer's initials.
Parts of both letters are much wider than normal due to the double overlapped impression.
Even thin layers of mylar can through off the reading though.
