1937 mercury DDO010?

[Ronald Ozimek]

Please let me know your thoughts for the possibility of DDO10 on this mercury dime on the Wexler site. I think I'm seeing a match with the areas shown in red on the date. I also posted a picture of the IGWT but am not sure what to look for on this view. Thanks! 1937 2 ddo10 igwt.png 1937 dd010 date.png

Can someone comment on my attempt to match my coin to Wexler DDO010?

the only comment i can offer is to ask if you have a smartphone that can take better images? they make loupes that can attach to the lens for zooming although some do just hold a loupe to zoom as well.

from those images i cannot discern what is doubling and what is light refraction.

happy hunting.

I think I have something (especially due to the top line in the 7) but am not sure which DDO might apply. I tried to get photos during the daytime using natural light to reduce glare. Are they good enough for you to tell if this might be a DDO1 or possibly10? Thanks! 1937 ddo 4.png 1937 ddo 3.png

appreciate your efforts at better images but i don't think i am the one to help on this one. i don't see anything obvious though.the sites give primary and secondary pups, so you should be able to work out which one it is or if it is one at all from a coin in nice condition like yours.

I agree.

Nope, not this one! (Down below.)
The images are ok but not clear enough to differentiate between glare and doubling.

If I was forced to decide I don't think yours is WDDO-010 based on the 1 in your last image.
There seems to be some decent separation/notching on the 1. Can you see any with the coin in hand?

Edit: Doing so many things at once my "Copy-and-Paste" can't keep up. LOL

Here is the real one (I hope. (; )

Thanks you both for your efforts to teach me. I'm pasting a marked up picture from the Wexler website.
When I look at the picture and my coin, the 4 areas that stand out to me are marked 1 through 4. Is the circled area on the 1 the area that disqualifies this coin from being WDDO-001? 1937 wexler ddo001.png

The images of your coin just aren't clear enough for me to tell for certain.

That 1-0-II refers to CONECA 001. In my opinion this in not a match. Your area on the 9 in the date is on the northern side of the coin. The variety vista example shows doubling to the south of the loop of the nine.

Same withe the 7. Your coin shows a cookie cutter style line to the south, where as variety vista example shows the line towards the north. That's two ares that do not match.

These working dies are metal. The double impressions are in steel and these locations cannot move. They should match up almost exactly. Your coin could simply suffer from a mild case of machine doubling.

The die markers should have been there IF this was a DDO, and the coin was deemed as mds or later stage. The crack in trust would only become stronger, same the the one through dime. They could have changed reverse dies, but the obverse trust crack should be there.
