It is a nice pick if the DDO is there. You could have broken die posts on a normal cent as well. So lets see the DDO first? |

I THINK I see the thickness on the date, but it's hard to tell due to the darkness in that area, as well as circulation effects. I do know, from experience, there is a "copycat" die that mimics this DDO. The B is filled, die chips in the R, and even the clash marks at the neck. I bid on, and won, one a few months ago. It had less than a minute remaining and I bid off the markers alone. When it arrived there was no class 6 doubling. I think I can dig up the pics. It was a good lesson to share. I'm not denouncing your find. I think you have it. Better images of the date will probably confirm. Let me see if I can dig up those images. It may save someone from my mistake. Found them. Take a look.     Edited by jay4202472000

There is also a die gouge next to the jaw on the DDO:  Here is a side by side with Jay's coin and the CC class 6 DDO:  Markers only mean something if the hub doubling is there.Edited by coop

I really don't have any photo editing software but I was able to make these side by sides of my coin vs the one on coppercoins. I can get better pics when the coin is in hand.   |

I do think you have it. Though dark, that 909 looks promising. Wishing you luck!

Looks like the correct die. The chip in the bottom of the 'R' is more convincing to me than the 'B'. The 0 in the date also looks correct. There is flattening from circulation, but it looks like you got the real deal this time.
