1960 DDR 002 or 004?

[Roller]

I think its the 002. I think I pick up the marker in 0 of the date and the G in the initials is like the 002. I also think that the doubling on EPU is stronger than on 004. These are pretty rough to judge on a BU copy on account of the bright reflections.

Nice one! I vote die #2 for sure. A very pretty ddr.

The S in EPU is really cool..

My thinking too.

I agree with the vote of 1DR-002 with doubling on the initials, one cent and die scratch from the back of the coat NE .

Yep, thats a die 2 for sure! This one is very hard to find, and seems scarce. Nice find!

how to tell the difference

what is the difference between a normal cent with the same date? Where do I find the information? Does DDR stand for double die reverse? And what is the 002 and 004? Does that designate where the DDR is? Thanks, jamngeorge the rookie

Go to coppercoins.com; click on search; punch in the date and choose the coin and enter. The 2 and 4 are for 002 and 004 which designate the second and 4th die pairs.
