This is a great teachable moment. One of you die / minting specialists explain why there are 4 notches on the "I". I just can't picture the process

Doublinghappens during the hubbing process of the master working hub. When putting a die together, sections are added one on top of the other. It seems that at least four hubs were used. #1 may have been just this section of the periphery details. Then, adding to this would be another element around the hub, the first hubbing is replicated here each time. it becomes additive, so if five hubbing were used to produce the working hub, then it could happen that it could rotate slightly each time. Those are pretty minute movements ya know, this is done by us critters capable of the shakes!

I don't think your 71D is the 71D DDO-017, below is a photo of the I in IN for the 71D DDO-017, note the four serifs (photo is from the discovery half). I believe your half is the 71D DDO-013. A couple of markers for the -013 that can be found on stages B and C are, a die crack through the top of the T in LIBERTY, and a light die gouge northeast in the field at the lower back hairline, see photos below.

atrox, thank you for the info. I do not see any matching markers for DDO-013, however I would like to have a definite and correct designation for this DDO if it is not a 71D DDO-017 |

The only two from the CONECA Listings that I can see that come close to matching your photos are the 71D DDO-013 and the 71D DDO-014. Below is a marker for the DDO-014, Small die gouge in the joint of the L in LIBERTY. Larry Nienaber  |

atrox, I did check both of those after receiving your initial post and no match on neither! Needless to say, it is great to have your feedback, I am happy to know you are member of the Forum, I will have to look into all the markers for the DDO's you've mentioned one more time( I could have missed One looking thru. the Cello wrapping is not very clear), I am sure you are correct on One of them, Thanks again Larry.

After seeing your additional photos of your half on ebay, especially the "1" in the date, I can tell you that your half is the 71D DDO-013, not the 71D DDO-017. The DDO-013 is a very nice Doubled Die Obverse in the 71D series. Larry Nienaber |
