rking007 Pillar of the Community United States 784 Posts	Posted 03/19/2016 12:26 am Is there a chance you could get some closer pics of the date? I think I see the doubling on the 7 but am struggling to see the rest for sure. Grade is G6. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/19/2016 01:15 am Here is an EDS example to see what the first coins look like struck with the DDO die that year: Note the notches on the bottom right side of the '1's? Your coin is missing that. Also the notch on the 9? The devices on your coin look wider, but that is from circulation flattening, not hub doubling. Note on tapapple65's coin on the 1? There is a notch there as well as a notch on the 9. The second '1' is missing that notch, but it may have been flattened over that area. Circulation flattening covers over sometimes that was there. I feel your coin didn't have that doubling to start with. Edited by coop 03/19/2016 01:15 am Report this Post to the Staff
cjweber Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 03/19/2016 07:08 am The bust looks more like an AG3 while the lettering detail looks like a G4 or G6... You would really have to be a G6 or G8 to make it worth while to send this coin in to be graded... Report this Post to the Staff
