Can you post a closeup image of LIBERTY and the date?

The difference? Note the devices are larger than normal.

Definitely a DDO. Nice find! We will need more pictures to see exactly which die it is.

I don't think it's WDDO-008. The S in TRUST isn't as pronounced as on that one.

A closer view of the date would tell the whole story.

So looking at the last image I posted: Which date looks like yours. We are looking at the horizontal on the '2'? I know the answer, I want you to find it. I want you to see what I see.

The difference is a like a muscle. Does it look like yours or like a young Arnold's?

Hi Coop, I hope that I'm right but it looks more like 003

Correct. Now you know what to look for on IDing this die. I discovered this a few years ago and probably the only ones who know about this clue have been through here and learned it. Now do you want another clue to speed up your searching on this year? Back to the dates again:

Note the '9' on the dates? Note the arrows at 11:00? All the DDOs 1-8 show a corner there that is a first clue you found one of these doubled dies. There are also images of the date on the normal coin and the master die doubled examples. So you may want to copy these images and save them for your personal references? It saves a lot of time re-finding a thread to find them again. They are here now.

This is the second DDO that I have found on this year. Your list will help me out greatly.

Is this a coin roll hunting find? If so, excellent work!

Yes, coin roll hunting from my credit union. My credit union has a coinstar machine in it's lobby so there's no telling what the members dump into it.

Wow! These are not found often in change anymore. They were heavily publicized when they were minted, and a ton of them got pulled from circulation early on.
