My last find from the wheat bag. A Blunt 4 over Pointed 4. Probably the closest I'll ever get to a small/large date coin . An interesting DDO never the less. Having trouble matching to the 3 different DDOs on VV. I've ruled out 002. Help is appreciated. Thanks for taking a look!

Edit: just realized how bad the picture quality of the date is . I hope it can still be matched okay.

I think your photo is fine, and I think you do have this error coin! It took a hit causing a gash right near the upper point, but you know what I think you found it! Good going!

Thank you. The hit was distracting but I caught the doubled die. :)
I think it is DDO-001 now after comparing the MM placement in relation to the tail of the first 9 of the date. Thoughts?

The mint mark position is in the right spot. I think you have the 001.
