These are the two 1944 P double dies I found. The obverse one I can't attribute. I can't match up any of the diags from the 004, 005, or, 015, but I see that there are two more class 6 DDs that don't have pics up on the site yet. Perhaps its one of these. The reverse one with pic at the bottom I'm guessing is the 1944-1DR-002 as that seems to be the only class 6 for the date even though there are no pics for that one. Sorry for my bad pics Sad Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the reverse class 6. Nice spread on the lettering and dots!

sorry here are the other two pics of the 1944 obverse. Im not even sure if it is actually a doubled die? The Liberty letters are bowed and the top letters seem thicker to me.

It's a doubled die. Those bowed letters like the B are tell tale proof that it is. Also that lower bar on the E of WE has the ramp on it.

The DDR is also a doubled die.

Class 6 doubled dies are hard to attribute without matching markers especially on circs. There are definitely more varieties/dies than what you see listed. Nobody could ever list all of them.

Nice find. The Denver ones are easier to attribute. The mint mark location is a great way to decide which doubled die they are.

Should be relatively simple considering this is a DDO/DDR combination. Let me take a look at what I have going here and I'll see if I can help out with this one.

No, that's my bad. These are actually two different coins. I just wanted to save posting space. Sorry if you spent time looking for it.
