I cannot get bettter pictures than these but the doubled dies is so prominent with 9 & 8 and it's a rpm as well. I am just a newbie, hope you won't get tired if I posts a lot and ask for your opinions&  I hope you can help me with this, if this a WDDO-001 or a different type. Hoping to hear some replies. Thank you.   |

We're going to need clearer pictures to tell what you have. I can tell that this is an uncirculated coin though. Looks very nice!

Note the closeness of the images on Wexler's Site: http://www.doubleddie.com/828907.htmlWe need to see that close to tell what you have. First thing to look for on the date is the '8'. Note the wider base on the lower loop on that digit, towards the rim direction? From the image provided, we need to see that close.  |

Thank you Mr. Cooper. Here is a photo I've taken with my Mag. Light Pro apps. I am not sure if this would serve well for you to be able to help me out. If not, I'll try to take some more photos later. I appreciate all your help. Thank you.  |

The mint mark location is not a match. So it is not from that die:  |

Looks like it from what I can see. Note the '8' on the date. The lower loop is showing a spread towards the rim direction which it should. Also not the width of the 9 & 5 on the date, it also shows a spread.

Walmart has a microlense android attachment for around 5 bucks. I have one and although clumsy it does zoom in fairly well.
