Idacostya Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 05/27/2017 05:01 am I noticed this 1971-D LMC because of the Die Break on the reverse columns. Then noticed that the obverse is looking like a possible DDO, there is only 1 DDO listed (from what I could find) but it does not exactly match. Is this an earlier or later die stage? Or not even a DDO altogether? Report this Post to the Staff

Is this an earlier or later die stage? Comparing to coppercoins single DDO listing, MM location suggests a different die. So don't waste time comparing to it. It seems to be MD in the current images. Also wanted to add MD can occur on a DD, but not in this case. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 05/27/2017 10:45 am Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/27/2017 1:46 pm MD, the devices are normal size, rounding effect instead of shelf-like is because of die wear, no longer are the device edges sharp and clear. Report this Post to the Staff
