1944p DDO2

[TPring]

An ebay pick that wasn't in doubt on the variety because of fairly decent seller pics.

Not rare [AFAIK] and quite obvious (though it could use an FS#).



VV

edit: Being that this is a fairly major class vi d/d, I am surprised it is not listed on coppercoins.com or doubleddie.com

Very nice example, T! love the paddle 9's and the chunky/distorted looking 40's DDO's, congrats!

Thanks for the responses -- Now I'm wondering if it might not be 1DO-8 -- May have to label it as both.

I spent about 45 minutes this morning looking at a possible crossover, which I'm assuming is what you are getting at and did not see it. The 1D-008 crosses with Wexler's WDDO-004 and see them as the same but I think you called yours right to begin with, as 1944 ddo-002 and think this is a different die. I will give reasons tomorrow. I think they are similar but different. 1944 DDO-0021944 DDO-0021944 DDO-0021944 DDO-002 1944 DDO-002

T, can you give us pics of EPU? It may just be the lighting on the full coin Ebay shot but looks like a DDR.

I don't know now, you got me thinking your way. You have the coin in hand and would know better but the doubling sure does look the same. A couple of side by sides.

Good eye - It does look to have promise. This is a full shot I took a few days ago and will see if I can get some close-ups. If it is doubled then it is fairly light.

As for the similarities with 1DO-8, I wasn't necessarily advocating for a cross-over just that they are so similar I couldn't see a difference [with limited comparison pics]. Class VI's can be very generic/vanilla and seem the same, especially without mint marks and solid markers. At the point that I made the comment I had only looked at VV [my 'usual' site] and hadn't considered CC or DD.

Others (that have come before me) have usually figured out the cross-overs so I didn't think that it was necessarily the same die and I was planning on labeling it with both numbers to try to be thorough. I usually put the three cross-over designations on my flips [if available] just in case one or two of the sites is not available in the future [over the years websites come-and-go ].

Again Jon, thank you for your attention to detail.

Looking at your pic, I think it was just the lighting on the other pic. If there is any doubling here, it's too minor to list. Thanks for letting me check it out though!

Yes, under a microscope the only thing I saw was ["possible" class vi] on the L and U of PLURIBUS and something that looked like class ii(?) on the first U in UNUM but, mostly just die deterioration from the late stage die.

That is a great find!!! Congrats on your purchase!
