1948 D Franklin half DDO 002 DDR ???
Date doubling matches DDO 002 but ir seems to end there. Shows other LDS doubling in profile Liberty INGWT etc. on obverse. LDS die chip inner lower O of GOD
Appears to be a fully different reverse showing doubling tripling and quad strikes in places especially E Pluribus Unum. etc.

Afternoon Mike,
So is this a typo above DDO-002 and you meant DDO-003? along with DDR-003? I see doubling on the right dot and the E along with the R of PLURIBUS. To me the coin has a possiblility of being Die #3 because of the doubling I do see. I can also say that in my past attributer's did not like to photograph double dies with also severe shelf/strike doubling or MD. That is what I think you are seeing as another image or as a triple die. What I would do.

Take a photo of the mintmark and the top of the bell. Try to copy the photo on VV and size to the same size of your photo, then perform an overlay. I use Paint.net for overlays. See if the bell top and the mintmark position match. If so then you have your answer.
Hope this helps.
Eric

For sure not DDO 003. if you look at the upper right lower loop outside you see a die chip that shows on DDO 002 but not seen in 003. If you look at the doubling and triplin in E Pluribus Unum it does not seem to match either 002 or 003. Thoughts? Would like to send for analysis. i have a number of other coins to put up. Just learning the sight. Thanks.

In looking further at images of the 003 I see what yo are saying at the dot by E etc. However obverse is for sure 002. If the reverse is in fact 003 its an extreme late die stat as my coin has much more profound doubling tripling and quad easpects than the 003 in CONECA images. Any thoughts?

I see alot of die fatigue and the coin is circulated from the small parts of the coin I can see. I'm still leaning towards the extra doubling your seeing is MD. Can you show me a raised serif on any of the doubling besides what I stated earlier. How about both the OBV and REV?

Do an overlay.

In my opinion, If your sure the obverse is a DDO and its DDO-002, you will have to fInd a DDR that lists the obverse as a DDO-002. It would be in the description on most reputable websites.

The only one I found on variety vista is DDR-002 has a reference for DDO-002. All the other DDRs dont have a DDO-002 Obverse. If they dont match doubling locations via the description, its simply something else. Thats all I have for this one.
