MD has a flat, shelf like secondary image. Report this Post to the Staff
Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 08/18/2015 03:39 am I'll see what I can do about the date and it's clarity. You of course could be right CWB. I know the DDO-1 (not inferring this is that without a bit more facts and clear pics from my side) has a die marker that goes from the mint mark up through the top of the NW side of the 0. There is a die marker in that area which is noticeable even on the crude picture I posted. In my opinion at least. I'll check to see what I can do on pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
