I believe this is a 1DO-001, The top of the 7 is half the thickness of the leg and all the letters look thicker.

That's a tough call on that one. The reason being that the letters are wider than other years on that date. But something positive is that it is a EDS/EMDS coin. Very nice to take images of because the lack of die flow/die scratches. Very nice looking coin. Maybe Bob would need to look at it. But still a keeper. If you think yours just looks normal, compare the other examples you find. It was probably made shortly after the dies were used a very short time. Hang onto it. If you have more of this die in the same roll, save them as well. They probably look a lot better in hand than other examples in the same roll.

I have compared this coin to a few other 1978. The date is thicker on this one.

The leg of the R in TRUST should have a notch and distention if it's a doubled die, otherwise it's just a normal coin.
