After learning about the difference between MD and DD, here at CCF,I went back and looked at some of My mint sets and I think I have finally found a DDO with a premium associated to it.
It matches the diagnostic pictures on Variety Vista so well that even a novice like Me can tell it's a match.
The only thing I can't figure out is,if it is a stage c or a stage D.It doesn't have the die crack on the lower left "L" in Liberty as stage D does, but it does have the die chip above the "R",as well as the die crack in the hair, and on the right wing of the eagle.
I will post some pictures tonight after work. Although the pictures leave a lot to desire because it is still in the Treasury package.
From what I can see, it is clear of dings,hits,and scratches. So I wonder if I should send it in to a TPG.

This variety has to be in a "wonder grade" to justify certification. I have about a dozen of them and will not certify any. I have nothing that grades over MS65, most are MS63 to MS64.

Here is a close look at the doubling of some of IN GOD WE TRUST on DDO-001.

Nice coin Ken. If we had a side by side of a normal coin, that would make this coin more interesting. But the extra thickness of the devices are very convincing.

OK,Thanks Ken,That was what I needed to know.Although Your pictures are much better at showing the coin, and its errors, than Mine,here is what I came up with.

If you want a picture of a normal '63,I can go take a couple of shots and post 'em,but,they aren't going too show the detail you all want.

The image is not close enough to see what is going on with it.
Here is a side by side:

Note the spread on the left sides of the motto devices?
