There are differences with the die markers that have me scratching my head though. The DC on the head is running E to W versus the LDS on coopercoins going N. Also the DC on the T of CENT is much larger on this one. Any thoughts folks? Thanks!!

Dearborn Moderator United States 99460 Posts	Posted 03/28/2023 4:25 pm Sorry, Not seeing the DDO 003 here, and the die cracks are not a match for it either. If you use the die cracks as a marker, they must match, as the DDO is on the same die., also matching die pairs (obverse and reverse) is not always reliable either as sometimes the mint switches the pairs out if one die wears out before the other. Keep hunting. I'll check on VV to see if you have any matches. However I do see some Die Deterioration on the date - some folks call this "The poor Man's DDO" Variety Vista has 10 listings for DDO - you can check here as well http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20...O%201955.htm Collecting since 1972.

Curly82ABN Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 03/28/2023 5:38 pm I hear what you are saying Dearborn. I looked over what VV, Wexler & CONECA had and could not find an exact match either. I was on a thought that with greater wear to the die that the markers begin to alter. Hunting I shall go . Thanks for the feedback again! Report this Post to the Staff
