Wasn't this the variety that coop discovered? Nice find!

@Josephm99 That would be very cool if true! The example on Wexler's site says it was submitted by Billy Crawford, but that of course doesn't mean Coop couldn't be the original discoverer of the variety. Edit: Seems Coop's discovery is a very similar DDR on a 2002 D. Found it on a thread I posted a long time ago about favorite lesser-known varieties. http://goccf.com/t/375546&whichpage=2

Note all the reduction on the devices? I feel this is just Machine Doubling. On the real deal all the devices on the coin are enlarged:

Not MD Coop. Check the ceiling and floor of the memorial building and compare against wexler's entry. Also, your picture is of 2004 P DDR-001, which I'm guessing is why you're confused. This is a 2004 D DDR-001, not a P.

Missed that. The Philly one is a lot more common here.   But still seeing Machine Doubling on your coin. Note the width of the devices. On yours, it is reduced, not enlarged.

Again coop, check the memorial floor and ceiling. The devices are enlarged, but my poorly lit microscope makes it look a little flat. The split serifs and doubling are more visible under the loupe.
Edit: also, compare the shape of the doubled areas on each letter and dot. The odds of the match being that exact are astronomically low, regardless of whether or not you believe me about the lighting on the scope making it look flatter than it is.
