Also on the obverse is seems like his nose is detached from his face, thinking maybe op die? Anyway let me know what you all think. PCGS lists a DDO that has similarities I think. https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin/detail/147887 Weight- 11.25 gram Report this Post to the Staff

The shelf-like doubling on DOLLAR looks more like MD to me.

When they removed these FFD, the mid devices were removed, weakening the nose are. You can see the whole left side fields are affected. Note the die was really worked over on this die. But it survived that was struck many more coins before it was retired. Report this Post to the Staff
Hermz Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 11:22 pm Thanks everyone for some info, thought it might be something more to the 3 in the date and lettering of we trust for the obverse. But will have to look into abraded die and see the rest as MD now since they all seem "flat" with the exception of "we trust" Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/10/2020 12:33 pm Because of the location. On a lot of the larger coins we see that area affected with the reduced bridge issue: Report this Post to the Staff
