It was recognized by PCGS in 2024 and the was an article stating how rare it is. As of now, it's still only a pop 2, not including the one I believe I have. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

JAnthony46541 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted Today 9H 51M ago I agree it looks sort of shelf like but think thats due, in large part, to the sharpness (lack of the usual rounding of the edges) of the original lettering on this coin. Also, where do you see that the doubling is reducing the size of the devices? I don't see that at all. In fact, it clearly increases the sizes of all the impacted devices. Doesn't the consistent direction of the doubling also the seem to be indicative of a true DDO? Report this Post to the Staff
echidna Pillar of the Community Australia 602 Posts	Posted Today 8H 29M ago I dont think this example is a DDO but even if it was, its value is limited. There is a genuine DDO for sale on ebay for $10. ebay item number:267722151444 Watch your top knot Edited by echidna Today 7H 42M ago Report this Post to the Staff
