It looks like congrats great find! I found 1 last year-acetone soak may help but areas where the plating is cracked could look worse after the soak so be warned(your name reminds me I'm heading to the range shortly not much else to do in this weather)

There is some damage to the ear, but I think it is the DDO-001! Congratulations and nice find!  To be sure, you need to check for some die markers. There should be a die crack running from the Memorial through the I of AMERICA. |

Here is a new marker I spotted from examples on the PCGS images that will help ID for sure that die:  Note the double gouges near the rim under the lapel in the center of that area. |

Nice find, pretty tore up but still a tough one to find in the wild. I guesstimate Genuine Enviornmental Damage AU details. I have an AU55 I found last summer and what a surprise it was, bet you were too. I have hit dry runs the last 8 bricks and know how exciting a good die variety find is. I'm having better luck buying them but nothing beats a good find. congrats.

Coop, I checked 10 of these against your new die marker. 7 are just as shown here, one late stage has it just visible but heavily blurred, one very late stage it is not useable, and on a very early die stage it is visible but just two tiny bumps down on field and not up on the rim edge like the others.

I have one in my DDO-001 collection but I have a tube of 1997 and 2006 doubled ears sitting here.

No wonder we have such a hard time finding them.  |
