Here's a Cent I put aside for later attribution. I don't see this DDO listed. First shot is the DDO alone, then an animation comparing with a normal 44-S. Comments welcome. Is this DDO strong enough to warrant further examination?

Great Images as always Ray. -
All 1944-P-D-S have Master Die Doubling. This appears to be it on earlier die states. Check www.varietyvista.comKen Potter

Yes, you can see the Master Die Doubling in various places on both the "reference" and the "variety" coin. It shows as doubled points on the 2nd 4, and on doubled horizontal lines. But the extra width on the 1 (with notching), the extra width on the upper loop of the 9, extra width on the tail of the 9, and extra width on the verticals of both 4's are all beyond the master die doubling effects I've seen. Is there a 2nd Master Die for 1944 that has these characteristics?Comment

Ray, I honestly don't know I'm just throwing this out there. These could represent different stages of the doubled master hub. Here again just throwing it out there.Ken Potter
