1980P DDO?

[daggit]

This one looks like it wish it was in better shape.

YIPPPIE!

It sure is die-1!

A great find! Those are nice, rare and it's still super nice!

[KurtS]

Wow! That's pretty dramatic...I especially like the doubling on the 8.

[rollmeupabe]

Great find. Congratulations. Gives me the incetive to spend a little time with my eyeballs on the microscope today.

Thanks you guys and to think I was ready to give up on this batch of circs and just toss them...then I saw this one

[Dick]

Sandra, that is a nice one! It just goes to show that they reaslly exist!
Abe, That is where mine are, all day, every day! not that it does me any good. I can't see the forest for the trees!
Dick!

Another '56-D. DDO, eyelid.


I included the date to see the MM position.
Any guesses? Thanks for looking,
Dick

Dick,
I can't quite make out the doubled eyelid, and the mintmark position seems unique. The closest ones for MM position would be DDOs 007 and 009.

[Dick]

Bob, I set up a coin, then run thru the DDO's, to see which one might be close to what I think I'm seeing. Then the grid comes up to compare the MM on the date included.
While we are on this date, and type, are there any die cracks, that run on the lower portion of the coat area? There are two very large, and prominant ones in these coins. One runs just at the High point above the rim, and the other is higher up ion the shoulder. It runs from the rim, up to theback of the arm, and generally ENE, and then down to the front part of the arm. It does not enter the deep area next to the rim.
90% of these will likely be bullion Value. There is extensive pitting, etc.

Dick,
There are none that have the die cracks like you describe. However, die state will have a lot to do with that also. I also have a bunch of minor 1956D doubled eyelids that I haven't bothered to put on the site (6 more I think). They are too minor, or too beat up to worry about.

[Dick]

Bob, that helps! It eliminates a bunch of coins that I won't look at again. I found another crack. This one runs from the bottom of the arm, and straight up the arm , to the shoulder. A couple ge all the way to the jaw.. All start at the rim. I am sure there are at least ten different dies involved here, but the pitting is ruining most. thanks for looking. It makes my job easier.

Here is a shot of full Obverse

and Reverse

[eagames]

Still has some luster, a few dings and rim dings,

That's a super find from circulation.
