Another 2006 DDO. Probably can't ID it from the pics, might even be a new one. My reason for posting it is that the crack is so similar to the one on 2 other 2006 DDOs but not the same.

This one has the notches on RTY and the 2 and distorted 0s.

On first glance I thought that big rev crack would match 1DO-020 or the 1DO-015 with a similar crack that MorgansRmine posted BUT all 3 are different. Note the way all 3 are in slightly different position as they run up the vertical of the E?

Isn't that funny that there's 3 different 2006 DDOs with such a similar marker? And it's not an area that I often see cracks on modern cents. I guess someone wants to keep the attributors on their toes Laughing

One has to wonder now, just how many misattributed 020s are out there.

Ed,
I have 7 rolls of unattributed 2006 Doubled dies. It is indeed very possible that yours is one not listed, and it might be because although it is definitely a DDO, it borders on being too minor to list. As far as similar markers, it bacame apparent in 2006 that these would get progressively more difficult to attribute properly because of the similar markers. If you find any other markers on your coin, let me know and I will see if it matches up with any of the ones I have here.

Thanks Bob,

LOL.... it's the only year where I wish there were less DDOs just so we could get to the bottom of the pile Wink

My reason to post it was to show how 3 of them (or more) have such similar cracks.

Next time I have something good to send I'll donate this one.

Smile
