1980 1-DO-001 Finally?!

I tried to present a couple of different ways.

I am posting anpther of these today. A little stronger I hope.

Hi Joey - sorry, but it looks like a normal 1980 LMC. The early 80s coins are often blurred from deteriorating dies. I've been looking for a 1980 DDO without luck and have seen a number of ugly specimens.

This should settle all
The Obv pic is the one.

Notching in the "1" is visible + all other devices should be able to be seen.

RACKSTER, I hope you are here to reply. And see this Pic..

Coop you also I'm hoping you can see and reply. Please verify if you can. Would like to move on to other posts I want to focus on.

Maybe finally move forward with confidence on my ebay site without the fear of hassles and with support and confidence of the community.

Thanks, more coming.

Hi Joey - still looks like a regular 1980 LMC. Coop can have the final say before you release your coin, but I think it's probably safe to do so.

Thank you as always for input
And yes I am sorry for any grammar of any errors along with the post. What happened to spellcheck. Thought it used to be here as tool. But don't seem to see anymore. I suffered a concussion couple days ago due to bicycle accident, and if anytime I needed it was then. But couldn't see it. I do apologize. Will be more aware in future.

Hear are new set of pics..

1st are of same coin as before but 2nd set are 2nd coin of interest.

If anything to get more complete info for lesson.
I do think 2nd is possible candidate. Even better then other.

Coop, working to improve on better detail. I know some pics need better focusing. With that though, the flattened area in the 1 o'clock area are there I thought. And if you look at earlier pics other devices are the same. But due to clarify is difficult to see I know.

1st question, is it possible for coin to have all correct marks in correct places and not be the variety in question? Cause plse if looking below ear, in front of the face and devices I seem to see what's needed to be there.

Looks can differ little bit as in EDS, MDS & LDS'S Correct? As in the 2nd example hear would be in a later state as the, 1st as seems to be a later state.

Upon another glance is it possible for 1 or the other to be correct variety?
And you know that the angle matters in able to show dbling in devices.

Is something I am working on.

With this most recent information had helped a lot in understanding to what I need to see.

This is going to make me a real expert in the end after all is said and done.


Comments?

Dies do show wear. But keep in mind the type of wear they experience. Usually the die wear shows on the outside devices edges that face the rim first. This is shown by the edge of the device being rounded at first in MDS. In the LDS examples more of the edge rounds and starts a flow pattern toward the rim area. In the VLDS die state the devices look very distorted with more of the device moving toward the rim.



So die wear is seen in these areas first. But note: The inside devices of the outside devices next to rim, do not show die wear until the VLDS die state. So any altering by die wear will not create a hub doubled example. The hub doubling starts from coin one.

Coop - thanks once again for the lesson; you've helped many of us develop the 'eye' for finding the doubling (and more).

Joey - keep at it. You never know when lightning will strike so you want to be ready. I know that I've let a few specimens slip through my fingers because I wasn't sure what I was looking at. A little disappointing but I'm getting myself in better position for the next variety/error to pass by my desk. It takes time...and sometimes a hard lesson or two. We are indeed fortunate to have folks like Coop, John, Mike D, and a host of others to field our questions and check out our pictures in the hopes we master our craft...and we will to one degree or another. The first 1980-1DO-001 I saw was from a lucky member here a few months ago so it happens. Good luck to you!
