Just found this in a B/U roll. Darn nice coin but about as tough to photograph as a proof. I nearly missed it as it looks oh so much like Die Deterioration Doubling.
That coin is in great shape! A little hard to tell, but it looks like Stage A. (My wife's Canadian, and she just told me to say it looks like Stage A, eh? Ugh! I knew she was going to make me do that.) The RPM really pops on your coin.
I do believe it is a stage A, although it has the die crack on the reverse for stage B that crack is very light and probably just wasn't noted for the stage A listing. I see that area is all washed out in the photo. Coin looks even better in hand than it does in the photos and close to MS-66 with just a little bit of hazing. Also think there are some lathe lines showing between the date and the bust which should put it at stage A as well I would think.
It does look shiny, but I can find absolutely no sign whatsoever at any magnification that the surface has been altered in any way. Looks 100% straight and from an original roll since there were four of these in there as well as four 1DO-009.
