I can't really tell from your full coin shots but maybe check for markers for the WTRD-008 working die. It's always been fun for me to try and match the correct die. Maybe look at the markers for 009 too, very similar mm location.

Littlemg2, it's very rare to find these. If you're giving it away, I'll take it. I need an upgrade for my collection.

cents----- what match did you think this was? I am having the hardest time due to coin being dirty. I think I'm going blind in my old age. Be 1 year from 40 this year and its all going

Yes I don't say almost 40 hahaha

Not sure what you are asking, I told you what I thought it was. I'm a bit older than you, so don't be going blind on us so early in life.

Oh I miss read that hahaha. Is this one worth sending to be cleaned and graded? As I am super nervous to dip into acetone due to a lot of 88 turn colors.

Probably not in its condition/grade, I think it would be on the bubble for being worth having it slabbed. I would do a short soak in acetone and put it in a nice sealed plastic coin holder.

A soak in pure acetone will not hurt and might help with any gunk.
