Hey guys,

I’ve got a 1968-S I think is a DDO. If it is in fact a DDO should I send it in to get graded with whatever marking is on the back? Would it be worth grading? Got lucky and found it in my pocket change :)



Hoping it’s a decent find. Doubling is on the date and I believe all letters on “Liberty”

Thanks in advance,

    Just curious - do you know the difference between MD and a DD? There are lots of threads on the forum where the differences are discussed.

    MD is characterized by doubling that looks flat and shelf-like. Does that describe yours? ;)

    99.999% of the doubling you will see will be MD. Unless you are experienced enough to distinguish MD from DD, you probably won't be making discoveries of unknown DD varieties on 50+ year old coins, so all you need to do is compare your coin to pics of known DDs for that date/mintmark, If there is a known 68S DD and yours matches pics of those then you might have something.

    Machine/mechanical doubling.

    No extra value & not worth grading. ;)
