Snagged this off ebay hoping it is a DDO with small die crack on United States. With a whole bunch of bids the last second it went for $28 including shipping. I know the pictures are not great but figured give it a shot? Report this Post to the Staff

Was just testing to see it I could pick stuff from ebay from photos. and been hoarding xf+ full liberties from all local sources so I have coins to search threw. But they are hard to find locally.

I too have bought coins thinking they were DDO or DDR only to find out it was not to be. Not a bad looking coin though. You will often find Longacre doubling on coins with die cracks, as the doubling will occur on die that have been in use for some time previously, then rebasined/or hardened, from my understanding. I'm not sure there is a 100% agreement on what exactly cause Longacre Doubling by all coin experts. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
