Hi Beck,
Here's a link to a real 1971-D DDR :

Here's a link to a machine doubled 1971-D :

Here's a link to one on ebay that's described IN ERROR as a DDR :

You can see on the holder (and from the pictures) that it is really just strike doubling.
Lastly, here's a link to Ken Potter's article on the different forms of doubling :

A real 1971-D DDR in a nice uncirculated condition is worth about $20
I hope this helps,
Dan

| Comment | Dear Friend, Sir! I can't Thank enough for your advise via LINK's I see that there is a very very fine line between the Collectable forms of Double Dyes and the Machine-Doubling.One thing I have going for me is that my coin is Clean Doubling no curling on the letters (like in a Pic I saw).Only an Expert can review the coin.Again,The letters are not SMASHED into,the letters are normal.I wish I could send in pic for review,but I am trying to get the RIGHT Digital CAMERA as a Tool.I also came across a Wheat Penny that I saved months ago,when I did not know there worth...a 1958..and that another story! God Bless! And Happy New Year! | ||

Expertise
My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.
Experience
I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
