You covered all the reference sites but Wexler. I do not think you will find your coin on any of those sites because it is not an error or variety,IMHO. It is a known areas for weakness during the striking process and sometimes has a Struck Through Grease issue in the same area. Along with circulation wear/flattening.

John1 is correct. that area of the die had a Struck Through Grease error. It is often we see weakness on this area where the metal flow was not sufficient to fill out all the devices:

But I ruled that out as the rest of the devices are present, but the Grease Fill prevented the full strike on some devices on that area. But this widening of the devices is just removing the narrow part of the devices from being seen. On a doubled die, we see even the base of the devices enlarged and doubled on this DDO.

Note the 'E'? Your coin is from a regular die. Note the outside width of the stacked coins, are showing the same base width on your images devices?

Note the 'A' and the "E PLU" Devices? See the doubling. Your coin is not showing that. On a match for a doubled die, it has to match all the devices. If not, then it is not that die number.

WOW!!! Awesome!! Thank You John1 and Coop!!!
If I haven't said it before, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! There is a steep learning curve to these designs, and while they become more clear daily, I'd be completely lost without the effort you all put in here. Thanks again!

Well that is my personal goal. I want yo be able to show you what I see on your coin. When I was trained, I was give yes or not answers. Nothing else. What took me many years to learn, I'm getting the new ones here to feel comfortable in months. I also try to train the others the advantage of this hands on program so when I'm not here, they too may help out.
