dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 02/20/2017 9:17 pm Just received this one and I'm stuck on what variety it is. It seems to somewhat match the description of Coneca DDO-03 stage 3 and I came up empty with the Wexler variety listings. Any ideas anyone? Report this Post to the Staff

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 02/20/2017 11:26 pm That's what I thought so too when I first look at it, but Weinman initials appears to be also doubled which 1940-S DDO-003, 3-O-II-C clearly lacking. The position of the doubled date are not in the same location, LIBERTY doesn't show the same way in yours either, as it show slight doubling with DDO-003. I'd suggest you send these images to Dr. Wiles, you may have another New variety. Good Luck* Edited by macmercury 02/20/2017 11:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 02/21/2017 1:58 pm I too thought is was MD at first look. Now after looking at the images on Variety Vista it seems closer to DDO-001 but the die crack from rim to feather is a later die stage on my coin and the mint mark placement is either different or the reverse die on my coin is further polished. Hmmm, now what? http://varietyvista.com/06%20Mercur...0SDDO001.htm Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 02/21/2017 5:40 pm The date doubling on DDO-001 are more noticeable, but that could be like you said yours is possibly a later die stage. 1940 S has more variant doubling than other dates beside 1940 D. This is easily confuse to myself sometime also. Report this Post to the Staff
