Willburton, I think tropicalbats is busy. He did say he was in the process of moving, so that might be why?

Hey tropicalbats, this would also be worth getting it listed on doubleddie.com as well.

I'm here, but at the new house with no internet and living on a one-bar cell phone hotspot so pretty much out of touch for most things right now as sometimes the magic works, and sometimes it doesn't.

Thanks for all the great comments! Wanted to get it in the mail but too busy and will go out on Monday so should know something more in a couple weeks and will update this post.

Hey Will, I finally got a message off to you!

Internet arrives here next week so shouldn't be any more big black outs like over the last few weeks when I'm up here working.

Wow, somehow I missed this when it was posted, but awesome find! Incredible that there can still be major undiscovered doubled die varieties on a nearly 80 year-old coin (and one of the most popular years of one of the most popular US coin types at that!).

This one is so much fun enjoy.

Is it just me or does there appear to be an upper curve inside the lower loop of the MM? And maybe even a light diagonal line going SE off the lower serif?

See TBs image I've marked with arrows.

Just got the coin back in the mail, but still not yet up on VV.

And Will, shoot me a line if you get it. Still hanging tight in PA at the new house as work is in flux and not sure when or where I'll be off to.
