Forehead die marker? |

It was that blurry forehead marker in the seller's pic that convinced me to buy the coin. Yes the R and U of TRUST looked right, but the marker sealed it. It's more obvious on my full-coin pic, but notice how difficult the doubling is to see in my pic even though it's more clear than the seller's image.

Do you have a list handy of the most obvious DDO-1 die markers lol?  |

From your pictures it is easy to see but from the sellers pictures there is no way I would have spotted this great pick. And congratulations

Wow - excellent cherry pick TB. It's a beautiful looking coin as well as a DDO-1. Quote:

Another doubled die I was unfamiliar with. Nice pick! Knowing the pups is key and obviously paid off in this instance.

Awesome pick TropicalBats, that is a great looking DDO and coin, and great to see your posts again. I was afraid the bats had netted you this time.

Thanks all! And no, the bats haven't carried me away yet, but it's been a sporty summer. Recently back from climbing Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, base to summit, off trail, carrying 60 pound packs with long ropes and rappelling gear while trying to find a lost bat cave. Failed. Costa Rica was a blast and caught very cool bats. Vacation was Iceland. Done four trips to Virginia and two work projects in PA. I'm supposed to be retired! I leave in a couple days to teach bats at Mammoth Cave. Come by on August 30 for Bat Day and you'll get to see live bats in the evening up close.

Fantastic pick.
Congratulations.
That was a heck of a jaunt around Mt. Washington.
We were on the cog railroad there two years ago and there were a few people doing it on foot.
Many of relatives up there. Sorry to hear you weren't able to locate the lost colony.
ps. Did you find any wild blue berries?
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
