Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 07/15/2019 5:06 pm Kind of a tough one to find in good condition but I found this 1983 P LMC DDO-005 CRH. It is a Stage B as there is a die crack that runs from the bottom right side of the base of the Memorial to the rim. 80's DDO's are hard to come by. You can see the split on the bottom of the right leg on R in TRUST. Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 07/15/2019 5:34 pm Actually David I just used a soft bristle toothbrush and warm water because it looked like it had some type of sticky substance in both sides. I used warm water to help remove the sticky gunk on it. Cold water won't work. You can still see a little of it on the R in LIBERTY and the first T in STATES on the reverse. And, Thank you my friend!

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 07/15/2019 8:36 pm Nice find and congrats. The thickness on the U of TRUST is nice. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 07/15/2019 8:54 pm Thanks Pete. I think the thing I like the most is the bottom right leg on the R. Edited by Jim0815 07/15/2019 8:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/16/2019 12:40 am Make sure coins are totally dry before putting them in a 2X2. If not, the next time you look, the coin will turn green.Turn the coin over and let any moisture dry off before it away. Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 07/16/2019 06:22 am Darned good eye and a nice find ! If I could just add one point to what Coop said about the water. It may seem like overkill but try to use only distilled water . Any other water, even reverse osmosis, will contain dissolved minerals or chemicals or whatever, that as the water dries, will be deposited on the surface of your coin. Any of that stuff may not hurt but it's doubtful it will help your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
