biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/07/2014 4:34 pm The weak columns and Lincoln are due to excessive die polishing which removed some of the details. The upper right cornice of the memorial took a hit from another coin. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/08/2014 2:07 pm ghostrivertrading, You must have eagle eyes,I don't see any DDO and could not make a match for 004. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 07/08/2014 3:27 pm I could be wrong it won't be the first or last time.... But I think it might a match or it could be my eyes wanting it to be one... lol I had ruled it out before the post... the date mint mark lined up on overlay. same thickness and some minor notching I had originally thought it was 1DO-008P but it did not line up I didnt realize the 1DO-004P is the same but the MM on 008 is higher and to the right a tad.

ghostrivertrading Valued Member United States 167 Posts	Posted 07/09/2014 08:18 am There is a nice notch in the E of WE but I didn't look it up for a match. I have found several DDO's but they are not attributed. Hang on to it as Coop would say. Report this Post to the Staff
