Looks like notching on EPU. Especially the top right of the first "U" of UNUM. Is that clash in Bay #4 a die marker?
Not an easy one to spot, so congrats

The one on coppercoins is absolutely a DDR, John. If you look at their description, you can clearly see split series on EPU, and doubling on the memorial building. It is a very esoteric variety though, to the point that even I, who collect minor die varieties, would probably ignore it. This one is a tough call, but I'm leaning towards OP has it correctly identified. Edited by SamCoin

I was using an Ipad for those first pictures. Edit - An Ipad + the lense from my actual microscope, not digital scope. It's so hard to get the lighting correct with my new digital scope. It has a ring of LED lights that produces a lot of glare, so I tried turning off the main light and using the side lights this for these pictures. I think these might be better. I stripped the color from the second picture. If it is a DDR, (even a minor one) that would be my very first one of those also. I found my first DDO not that long ago.   Edited by Grelko

Excellent pictures. Yep, that's a DDR for sure. Seeing this picture, I change my earlier statement about it being too minor for me, definitely a keeper. |

Wow, very nice find! A minor one yes, but there aren't many DDRs out there like this one. Very impressive for your first DDR! |

You might submit this one to coppercoins to see if they need images of it for their files. It looks a like a better example.
