Does anyone have an image that shows some die markers for this variety?

Also, does anybody know how many die parings are known for this date? Given the low mintage and the fact that I've seen some in pretty late die state, it may be a small number (maybe half a dozen or fewer).

Look at ARSave website, but I don't recall any information on die pairing or markers in the Lawrence book either.

Are you in the market for one?

I may have found one to cherry pick from a seller's pictures, but I want to make a positive ID before I put money into it. The doubling is minor enough that it's hard to be sure of a match even with a good picture.

I did find ARSave's and other pictures, but they mostly just show a close-up of the date, and the one I'm looking at appears to be early die state than the pictures I've found. Are there any other PUPs other than the date? Is doubling noticeable in IGWT?

(I'm not in the market for varieties generally, I'm still working on my basic set, but that doesn't mean I won't take advantage of a cherry-pick if I stumble across one).

The date is the best marker. If the date has the correct splits it should be the right one. Note that the series are loaded with Strike Doubling, and sometimes a coin will look like a variety just good enought to make it look right.
