tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 09/16/2017 1:03 pm Dilworth, Yes, a very nice doubled die. There are three fairly similar ones, so you should go to this page: http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20...O%201972.htm and look at the varieties 3, 6 and 8. It looks like 003 to me, and looks like it has that little gouge down at the bottom right of the bust that would verify it. But use the photos on those web pages to hunt down some of the little die markers that verify exactly which one it is. Really nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
