Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 07/20/2013 4:04 pm The Cherrypicker's Guide does reference a 1943 DDO, but not that extreme. The CPG description is "extreme extra thickness on the date & all obverse lettering". The picture in the book shows thicker numbers, but not separate numbers like in the auction. The thing that concerns me about it is the extremely grainy look to the coin... maybe plated? Edited by Dave H 07/20/2013 4:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
