CentHunterJ Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 10/22/2020 1:50 pm Hey, I'm having trouble identifying this 83-D Double Ear type thing. It seems like I'm seeing faint markers from FS-101,2, and 3. But I'm hoping someone can tell me just based on the Ear Lobe. I'm eager for info. Thanks guys. Report this Post to the Staff

CentHunterJ Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 10/22/2020 2:00 pm John, without destroying another innocent 2x2, let's see we can figure out. That particular ear die break thing on 102 is much larger than mine. Do you think mine is the same defect in an earlier stage? If so, is it still the same catalog number?

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/22/2020 3:05 pm Going by the pics above,I do not think your coin is a DDO.But you should check the sites to be sure it isn't another DDO even though I see no DDO. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
CentHunterJ Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 10/22/2020 3:17 pm Yeah, none of the 83 D's really seem like DDOs. I just always look for the Ear thing. It seems like I remember seeing this ear thing somewhere, but now I can't find it. Hopefully someone else can drop a k-bomb (knowledge bomb, just made that up now. Been staring at coins way too long) on us. Report this Post to the Staff

Here is what a DDO would look like for this year: FS-101 (Note the side by side with a normal coin and a DDO: DDO-002 FS-102: DDO-003 FS-103: Report this Post to the Staff
