I was surprised to see the oddly shaped letters in IGWT (spread?). Don't see split serifs but I haven't used the microscope yet. If it's real, I think it might be 1971-S DDO-002, PR-2-O-II-C1971-S DDO-017, PR-17-O-II-C (4) or 1971-S DDO-022, PR-22-O-II-C. It has the Peg Leg but I haven't checked die markers yet. Need experts to weigh in! Oh and let me know if it's a Type 1 Reverse!!! Report this Post to the Staff

I saw one posted a while back and discovered that is the way they all looked. Normal design on the 1977 Eisenhower dollar: Here is a DDO though. You can see the notching on the devices: Another one with notching on the west side of the devices: Report this Post to the Staff
Parnelli917 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 05/20/2021 10:40 pm Thanks Coop. I was afraid of that. I looked at "normal" 1971-S proof and at times I thought the letters were different. However, not finding split serifs or doubled markings made me feel like it was a long shot. I'll keep looking! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 07:59 am I felt for sure to when I saw the images, so finding a match and it was what was normal. Report this Post to the Staff
Parnelli917 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 06/09/2021 06:35 am @Coop, I went back to this coin and found quadrupling on the "N"... I think. I think I also see some split serifs on the obverse as well. It looks similar to Wexler's WDDO-001, but not exact. What do you think? My Coin: Wexler's Example: Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/09/2021 08:27 am It looks like Machine Doubling on your coin. The way to tell? Look at that side of the device. Is it flat, shelf like showing not contour on that device? Note on Wexlers example? The contour of the coin is there, the spread lines are on the top of that device. Yours doesn't look like that from this image provided. No notch on the lower right corner. No extra width of the left leg of the 'N'. It is Machine Doubling, not a doubled die. The spread line looks like stretch marks on the left upper leg, because of being wider. Edited by coop 06/09/2021 09:02 am Report this Post to the Staff
Parnelli917 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 06/09/2021 09:10 am Makes sense. I can see the flatness now. I thought there were too many differences between mine and Wexler's example, but those lines in the N had me baffled. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
