5000th post ultimate contest

[jcuve]

Greetings, and here is my latest contest. Identify the following classes of hub doubling from the 14 examples illustrated (12 Lincoln DDOs, 1 Lincoln DDR and 1 Jefferson DDO). There are hybrids, but try and identify the primary class (or both if you can). If you are extra sassy try and guess the date and DDO #...

To make it easier, you will find: Class I (X3); Class II (X3); Class III (X1); Class IV (X2); Class V (X2); Class VI (X1); Class VIII (X2)

Class I (rotated hub doubling)
Class II (distorted hub doubling)
Class III (design hub doubling)
Class IV (off-set hub doubling)
Class V (pivoted hub doubling)
Class VI (distended hub doubling)
Class VIII (tilted hub doubling)

I have tutorials on most classes on my site WWW.ErrorVariety.com/

Good luck!

Good contest! However, you got one mistake. You have the roman numeral wrong when you mention how many of each class there are:

"To make it easier, you will find: Class I (X3); Class II (X3); Class III (X1); Class VI (X2); Class V (X2); Class VI (X1); Class VIII (X2)"

P.S. I think I'll check for the die numbers before I post, as I recognize most of these.

From the guy who said that he may not have time to photograph his new 1971 S DDO!

I am going to stay out of this one. Good Luck everyone!

It would be terribly unfair for me to enter this contest also, but I do want to wish all participants the best of luck. I really think this is a great educational tool as well as an awesome contest.

Gonna take a random guess here, but it's pretty much a shot in the dark since I barely know my Doubled Die classes....


I'll guess that...

#1 is Class II

#2 is Class I ---

#3 is a Class II+V hybrid ----

#4 is a Class IV -----

#5 is Class I ----

#6 is a Class I (1971P-1DO-002) ---

#7 is Class V

#8 is Class III+VI Hybrid ----

#9 is Class V ------

#10 is class VIII -----

#11 is class VIII

#12 is class II (1971S-DO-001) -----

#13 is class VI ------

#14 is class IV

(subject to editing before the contest ends if I do a little more research... )
