I don't think you have the DDO on your coin. The DDO started on stage 'D'. Your coin is an earlier die state. The DDO started later. (unless I can't see it on the images)
Yeah, I'll get some better pics of the date and TRUST in a few. Gotta clean up my Coin Room in an effort to locate my misplaced ProScope Micro Mini to get optimal images. It's a complete mess, coins and albums everywhere!
I also wanted to get you guys opinion on whether or not this Nickel could garner a 5FS designation?
It's really not a very noticeable DDO to begin with. Variety Vista describes it as "Strong extra thickness on all lettering and date".
If you click the Variety Vista link to the listing at the top of this post, they have multiple images of three different die states and I just don't see it. There's major varieties, minor varieties and then IMHO..... this, lol.
Although the naked eye visible RPM on the reverse makes the coin.
