Take a real good look at the mm. Looks like it might be the DDD/s variety, OMM1 or FS511

I do see a split serif on the upper part of the D, I'll get better images tomorrow when I have better lighting for my scope.

Well it is a direct match for VV OMM-001 which does have the comment for D/D/D/S FS-511
So you may be very correct on this - and a huge surprise to me..

Here is a closeup of the DDD/S that I picked up about 35 years ago. Compare your MM to this one. You should be able to clearly see the split serifs and the tripling of the D to the East. You may need to tilt the coin a little to see the third impression of the D

Excellent surprise score. Congrats Dearborn. Love that being an OMM.
And thanks MisterT for pointing that out.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
