1978 1 cent DDO ?

[Dennis]

Hello I am a new member . I have been coin collecting since 1970s when my dad got me started . My dad had passed away last year and it has been a tough one for me moving forward without him . I have recently started sending in my error coins to ANACAS for grading my error coins . I have decided to start selling these to help my Mom . I have sent in 4 possible Missing clad error coins which 2 are 1939 nickels ,1941 5 c ,1951 s 5 c black beauty and 1 Possible 1984 D 5 c DDR / DDO . If they are true error coins I will share the pics with the forums .
I would like to attach a picture of a 1978 1 c DDO and see if anyone sees the DDO in the date and Liberty .The DDO is south and I have viewed photos online of other DDOs listed and I have not found any as strong as mine . I have a 2001 cherry pickers book and no 1978 is listed . Varity Vista shows one but mine looks stronger .

I think your best bet is to have some of your coins pre-screened by Mike Ellis. I do not see the doubled die on this cent but I'm not saying it isn't there - just needs a closer exam. Your nickels do not have "clad layers" so they can't be "missing clad layers" -- maybe just coins that are dirty on one side. Die you weight them? Missing clad layers will be significantly underweight and normally weakly struck.

This 2008-P John Quincy Adams Presidential dollar was struck on a planchet that was missing an outer clad layer before it was struck. This type of error will expose the copper core on either the obverse or reverse and will be underweight. This one exhibits a great deal of weakness in detail due to insufficient metal for the dies to strike up. Notice the weakness of the characters about the rim, the torch and the informed rim. Found by Richard Stachurski and his grandsons Zak and Joe El khamiri while searching rolls.

Maybe you mean that your nickels are Split Planchets?

nickle errors 55t104 039.jpgHello thank you for your reply. The doubling is like a straight line across the bottom of Liberty the lower letters are rounded and not shelf like ; you can also see the hook at the 9 in date and the 8 shifted north. I have contacted Mike he refferd me to email Bill Fivaz but he never returned my email post . The nickels I sent in deffintly lookd copper and one weighd 4.82 grams and the black beauty weighed 4.80 grams . Thank you Dennis
edit : I was reading through the forum and 1 post mentioned there were no clad nickel coins in those years I was not aware of this and a person had thought they might be a off metal planchet I believe is what they said. I am in hopes ANACS classifies it as that and not enviromental damage .They sure look copper to me out of the hundreds of nickel s I have ; 3 copper color obv & rev coins stand out . I attached 1 photo the corrosion you see is greenish like a copper color tarnished .

Just got my coins back from ANACS they list my wannabe copper nickels as Corroded . I was surprised they authenticated them there's no-way I can ever sell these .

That 1939 looks to me like a metal detector find.

I would not be surprised I collected most of my coins from pocket change and flea markets . I had sent 5 coins into ANACS before I had joined CONECA my bad . I have a 1977 quarter and a 1969 dime obv and rev that looks copper. Mike Diamond is helping me if the usps can get my package to him today my 2nd try . Bill Fivaz looked at 3 of my coins back in 02 but the 1920 merc dime was strike doubling and I guess I got discoureged and did not send anymore to him . I may have missed out on showing new errors at that time period . Now they seem more common to find .
