Going thru some 1934's last night and ran across this one. It shows nice class 6 doubling on the motto, the top of the O in ONE and the top of the stalks. Not listed on CC and there is only 1 1934-D DDR listed with CONECA but this coin doesn't have the die crack over VDB marker so I don't think it's the same one. Any suggestions? Comments?
Thanks, Rock

There seems to be extra thickness on the letters disdended hub doubling class 6 I agree a possible doubled die.

I agree with Joe that it clearly exhibits the characteristics of class 6 doubling. The key is the distortion in the dots.

You should send this to both Bob Piazza and James Wiles for attribution. CC doesn't have any DDRs listed for '34D and CONECA has only one.

Nice find!

It appears to be an earlier die state of DDR-001. I would love to photograph it for the CONECA files.
Thanks,

Thank you everyone for your observations and comments.

James,
I would be happy to send the coin to you for photographing and official attribution. I was actually preparing a few coins to send to you and will add this one. I assume I should follow the guidelines for sending you coins as described on the CONECA web site. It's actually been several years since I last sent you any coins.
