This is a matter that took me 3 separate variety attribution submissions to come to understand how PCGS attributes variety coins.
In a nutshell, they have a "list" of known doubled die varieties with individual markers and PUP's that should be observed on each depending on its particular die state and if they've determined that it is indeed a doubled die but can't match your submission to any on their "list" it is given the attribution "DDO(or DDR) Minor Variety"
Even if you send in detailed information about the attribution you are seeking, it will not get labeled as such, unless it's on their list. So basically...it's a big waste of money.
