Hinkle Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 I have this proof like coin, but wondering if this is a DD. I'm trying to match it with the DD in the red book and on line but not sure. It kinda looks to be, but on the other hand it kinda don't. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Fenntucky Mike Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 I'd say it be more unusual if it wasn't a DD of some sort with 21 DDOs and 14 DDRs listed on variety vista for that date. It is a proof. Crawtomatic 1
Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted June 2, 2021 Member: Seasoned Veteran Posted June 2, 2021 I don't see anything that would qualify it as a DDO or DDR.
Hinkle Posted June 2, 2021 Author Posted June 2, 2021 Thank you, didn't think it was but thought I would share incase someone sees something that I might have over looked.

I hear you there Vkurt, that's why I didn't use a scope. I'm understanding just close ups are the better way to go. I'm learning from you and the other guys in here ,if you can't see doubling by looking at it in hand, then through it back in circulation. As much as I pull the scope out to look for double is hard at times. As Much I think it's doubling it's not. So I just try to look for the simple stuff. But I really do want to find a true double die and share. But still waiting for that day to come.

But what gets me most are the cameos of that era. Edited June 2, 2021 by VKurtB
