I have Pictures of my favorite coins doing a slide show on my desk top. Last night when my 1973 Ike BB Proof scrolled through I noticed something that made me pull it out and give it a second look.

There are only 2 DDO's that have pictures listed that I can find.

One is a Diva on the Ike Group
http://www.ikegroup.info/DIVA%20lis.../3SP-301.pdf

The other is listed on Variety Vista
http://varietyvista.com/13%20Eisenh...#Photographs

This one appears to be the Diva, but it doesn't have the die scratch on the neck that I can see. Could it be an earlier die state than the one pictured on the Ike Group.

Here are a bunch of picture of coin. Black arrows denote all the doubling I see. Some were hard to photograph but the arrows show where they are.

Start with the Whole coin Pictures
What do you think it would grade?

This one show IGWT The Arrows show where I am seeing doubling with my loupe.

Now for the close ups of the ones I could manage to get to show up with my limited photography skills.

Doubling in the date as well

Variety Vista show doubling in "R" in Liberty only. The Ike Groups Diva show doubling in "R" and tripling in "B" of Liberty like mine. This is what make me think it could be an early die state of 3SP-301

Diva 3SP-301 calls for a die scratch in the neck...but I don't see it do you?

So what do you think? Is it an early die state of 3SP-301 or is it something else.

Any and all opinions welcome as usual.

Thanks again...Mont.

Edit: If better pictures are needed just ask. I will see what I can do.
