I'm not sure what WDDO this would be, as it matches none of the die markers.

However LIBERTY is more thick than normal, I've compared it with a few of 2015 LSC and this one is certainly more thick.

Note how the devices look on your coin. Just looking at it made me come to a new conclusion. Note how all the devices are flattened on that area except the the 'TY'? Just figured out, the bust height prevents those two devices, to not flatten as easily. Looks like the left cross on the 'T' looks altered a bit. But the 'Y' is well protected.

Ah I see. Yes I noticed that as well, especially the damage on the T. It was mainly the Y that caught my attention, as the bottom half of the Y is more thick than normal and stuck out. What is creating that effect?

SC, Note that 2015 has a lot of minor DDOs. So likely a lot more minor DDOs not listed. But in this case I would think it too minor to be listed either way. Mr. Wexler has always been generous in allowing for minor doubled dies, but at some point you just agree it is a DDO but not in need of a listing. I know one extremely good doubled die person who has, literally, thousands of them on modern coins unlisted.

So for something like this, maybe pull a spare coin tube, label it minor DDO, and just toss such things in there. Maybe 10 years from now you pull it out and some have been listed, maybe not.

Yes that is very true. Mr. Wexler has been extremely generous with both the shield cents, and the later memorial cents. And you are right that this is very minor. Wow that's insane!

Thank you, I will certainly take your advice and start a roll of these minor DDRs.
