It could be A DDO-MD1 Class 2, Distorted Hub Doubling. Value wouldn't be very high, probably no more then machine doubling.

Am i missing something here. It says 1975 proof set. But pictures a 1976.

Yes you are

In 1975 there was ONLY a Penny , Nickel and Dime Produced for that year -

The quarter , Half and Dollar were the Bicentennial issues and were release in 1975 for the Bicentennial Year 1976

That's definitely a DDO. Not sure which one; there are countless doubled dies accross the IKE series, and only one of them is recognized by NGC!

I see that auction closed...was it you who won?

 

Will you be submitting it to NGC to find out if it is one of the DDO?

 

Ike lover here, though only learning about all the variations. There was a LONG article in a recent issue of The Numismatist about the Ike variants. It was actually a little tedious, and I had trouble seeing some of the things that were supposed to be so obvious.

 

I guess I just don't have "the eye."

 

Thank the gods for TPGs.

Yuppers, thats a ddo. Not a bad one either.

[jgrinz]

I see machine doubling ...

It looks different than machine doubling to me. How about to you Guys and Gals?

[errorist]

Yes I won it. Don't know if I should submit yet.

Not machine doubling.....looks like clear separation as opposed to a shelf running along the primary numbers. It's not very impressive even under magnification but I am 100% sure it's a true DDO.

 

 

Scratch that....I am not 100% sure because the images aren't great....but I do believe it to be a DDO.

[Conder101]

Yes it is a doubled die, no question about it. Now WHICH doubled die it is is another matter.

[bajablu]

Machine doubling looks nothing like this. Its clear seperation. All you need to do is look at the serifs. It looks not even remotely close to machine doubling.

 

 

 

 

I know sometimes its tough to determine which one, but this one is not.

[bajablu]

 

So where is this machine doubling? All I see is CLEAR SEPERATION. Thats it. Theres noway on gods green earth that this is machine doubling.

[errorist]

I didn't think so that is why I bid on it.

[bajablu]

Did you win it? Just curious.

Did you win it? Just curious.

 

Yes. I won it. Hope it turns out as advertised.

The coin exhibits MDO-001 doubling, which means that the doubling is on the master die (check out the CONECA master listing for details).
