CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 11/19/2018 6:16 pm Hello. I purchased this coin at a coin shop this summer just to have it for the collection, and while I was browsing PCGS, I found there was a DDO variety listed for it. I looked at my coin, and upon furthur inspection believe this is a Doubled Die Observe. I would appreciate anyone's Input. Thank you. -CoinHunter27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/19/2018 9:51 pm I'm thinking MDD. As mentioned Longacre doubling tends to be seen on both sides of the lettering. I don't see any split serifs (although lower quality upside down images of letters packed with gunk can hide a lot.) so I don't believe it to be a DDO. Report this Post to the Staff
