Good morning, I ran across this coin in my batch and looking for confirmation that it's a DDO and possible grade. Thanks in advance. SS    Edited by shotgung

You have the coin in hand. Go to Wexlers site and match markers.If they all match,you have that variety. Wait for a pro to chime in. John1 |

I don't know which one it is, but it's definitely a Doubled Die Obverse. Nice find!

It looks like the CONECA listed 77D DDO-002. Here is a photo of a marker for the DDO-002, a light die scratch running above the hair and through the R in LIBERTY. Larry Nienaber  |

Nice find! Yours matches mine. Out of 189 boxes I only ever found one. These are not easy to come by.  How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Earle-42...Yours doesn't match Shotgung's half, yours is the 77D DDO-001, his is the 77D DDO-002. Note the doubling on the UST of TRUST.

Tahnks atrox,varietyvista.com does not have pics of the DDO-002 for me to compare. Please let me know what you are seeing different in the two though b/c I do not see it. There is a major difference in the lighting used totake the pics (mine is the worst with hot spots), but zooming in on his to look at what I thought were differences in the S showed the same things with his. The same with the T. At first look I did not see the lower notches under the T's bar on his, but zooming in on his piuc shows them there.
Please correct me if I am mistaken and missing something.

I get mine today. Shows it's out for delivery. Based on your recent pictures, I believe mine is the 001. Thanks for the information and postings.

Thanks for these great pics. Quite a bit of difference when you start looking at them.

Man!!, I'm having a real hard time seeing the doubling on this coin. Not sure if it's my lighting or what. I don't doubt or question the coin but I just can't see doubling under my scope. Has to be the lighting I suspect

 After roll searching and putting thousands of JFKs under a (dissecting - not digital) microscope, I learned to put my desk lamp directly in front of the scope and then I would look for doubling in IGWT by rotating the coin so the view I saw showed IN TRUST upside down. For some reason it made the doubling really stand out as opposed to other angles. |
