I tried to match it to the others I saw online but it does not seem to quite match any listing. All comments are welcome. Is this my first find? I hope so! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96209 Posts	Posted 12/06/2021 6:22 pm Sorry, I would have to agree with jin. the tell here is the 'shelf' like appearance of the devices Collecting since 1972.

Cons Valued Member United States 399 Posts	Posted 12/06/2021 6:33 pm OK thanks Dearborn. I looked at others and it seemed to share split serifs in date as well as shape of G in God and bottom of L in Liberty. So I thought I might have something! Report this Post to the Staff
sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 12/06/2021 7:16 pm Compare the size of the letters to another memorial. Are the shelf and letter combined the same size as the normal coin? Then it's Machine Doubling. A true DDO would make the letters larger than an ordinary coin. Report this Post to the Staff
