The U does look interesting. Now I am on the fence.

Hi, great find. I can see the notches on upper U and the distortion as well.

I'm in the DDO camp on this one.
Nice find!

It's pretty subtle in any event.

Man that is probably the last coin struck with that die. The only thing I can see is the U. Nice find.

A side by side to maybe help folks see the offset.

if coinsaregood had just slightly more in focus pics it may help. Using the "U" to compare
from makecents post above the overall width of the 2 arms of the U are not wide enough to
match the known DDO, but as mentioned extremely late die stage could be a factor.
I just checked all my 66's like 2 weeks ago, do need to look at 'em again?

That, and the sharpness of the pic is exactly why you may not see it, but the offset stands out like a sore thumb to me.

Excellent find, congrats! Appears to have some subtle toning too? If this were my coin, I'd attempt to improve pic quality & get some opinions on the grade.

@allcoinsaregood I'd say you've recovered from that stroke quite well! Congratulations on an excellent find.
