I was having a lot of difficulties finding the match until I was able to see the lite die scratches on the outside wheat seed (left wheat) in line with the base of the U (UNITED). Boy, they were a booger to get images of. These scratches are also what I based my estimate of the die stage C since they didn't seem to continue across 3 of the seeds. Enjoy. And as a bonus, it appears to have been "struck through" a fibre (forming a couple of right angles) between the rim and shoulder. It is difficult to get good images of the struck through, but I'm about 98% sure it's not a crack because of the right angles to it and it appears to be incuse.

CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 08/29/2021 1:54 pm Excellent grab, Cliff -- Wexler and NGC list it as a TDR [triple-die reverse] to boot. Nice job on getting a pic of that wheat scratch. You get it off of ebay? http://doubleddie.com/302101.html Edited by CentSation 08/29/2021 1:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 08/29/2021 2:44 pm Thanks Guys. And thanks for the pointer about Wexler. I did find it listed as WDDR-001 but forgot to make note of it and missed where he listed it as a triple DDR. DD LINK http://doubleddie.com/302101.html Quote: You get it off of ebay?

Ahh, must have missed that one -- Have been concentrating more on proof LWCs this year and don't remember bidding on that one. You also have the die-dot in the N of CENT as a marker though I don't recall which die state it is in. Report this Post to the Staff

I see that is a marker for Stage "A" reverse on doubleddies.com Interesting but a little bit of a head-scratcher for me. My coin is bright red and doesn't exhibit frosting like I would expect to see on a Stage A coin. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
