1940P DDO

[daggit]

I'm not completely sure of this one but the 9 appears to be similar in thickness as I have seen on the site. The reverse also shows egg shaped dots and some thickness on the lettering.

Looks like a class 6 DDO.

You might see the curved spines on LIBERTY and the little ramp on the lower horiz of the E of WE.

Sounds like 1DO-001/1DR-001, it's both a DDO and a DDR on one coin.

See if any markers match but if the DDO and DDR match it's a good bet it's that one:

I'm not such a "good marker person", so I will put up a couple more pics to try to narrow it down

Here are a couple more pics

Samndra, that LOOOONG streched out "4", sure looks like it is doubled. Nice find, if it actually is.

It matches the doubling for both.

I doubt you'll see the markers on it but it's 1DO-001/1DR-001. Just using one as the marker for the other is enough.



Also this one is listed by Coneca as DDO die-2 and DDR die-9 and the only real marker they list is using one as the marker for the other:

Designation: 2-O-VI
Description: Strong extra thickness on all lettering and date
Markers:
Stage A: EDS (unconfirmed)
Stage B: Obverse is MDS
Reverse is LISTED as DDR-009 – MDS
Stage C: Obverse and Reverse are LDS

Designation:
9-R-VI
Description:
Extreme extra thickness on E PLURIBUS UNUM, wheat ears, stems, and AMERICA
Markers:
Stage A: EDS (unconfirmed)
Stage B: Reverse is MDS
Obverse is LISTED as DDO-002 – MDS

Nice doubling on both the obverse and reverse.

I have a question related to the pictures but not the original question. What causes the purplish color on pennies like the color displayed on this coin? When I first started to collect wheaties I saw people refer to the "red" color and at first I thought they were referring to this color so I started to save all of them that I found. I know now that these are not the "red" coins people are looking for buy I probably have enough to fill a few books.

Could it be rust staining from the coin being with something made of iron that was rusting?

Thank you Ed for all info, you are sort of like a cent dictionary
