MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 09/07/2020 8:54 pm I think I may have a DDO here, but wanted some thoughts from the community! I spent a bunch of time on VV and tried to figure it out. I am between the FS-102 and the 1971 D-DDO-007. The coin rolling machines were not kind to this coin. Lots of the circular scratches. I put arrows on what I thought were markers. I could be completely of base here, but fingers crossed! Still learning! Report this Post to the Staff

atrox001 Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 09/08/2020 4:55 pm I believe your half dollar would be the CONECA listed 71D DDO-006 (FS-102). There are only two in the listings that have the four serifs on the lower I of IN, like you have pictured, the DDO-006 and the DDO-017. The doubling on yours looks like the DDO-006. A marker I use for my collection for the DDO-006 is the short die gouge above the first T in TRUST, see attached photo. James Wiles doesn't list any markers, but you can see it in his photo on Variety Vista. Report this Post to the Staff
examiner Valued Member United States 176 Posts	Posted 09/08/2020 5:49 pm Nice one MrBreese! Serifs are definitely split, and very noticeable on the "T". Report this Post to the Staff
