SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 12/26/2021 5:00 pm I was about to post this, claiming it was DDO-009, or something similar, but then I noticed flattening when I made this image: Am I correct in coming to the conclusion that this is very obscure flattening, or was my first assumption possibly near the truth? Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19142 Posts	Posted 12/26/2021 5:24 pm Would like to see full, large and sharp images of the coin--obverse and reverse. Would allow us to see the full context of the coin, and perhaps gain more insight into what may be happening. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 12/26/2021 5:47 pm I should think you have a case for ID'ing it as #9 but proving it is unlikely without markers. That being said, the area in the green circle is often noticeably thinner on class vi DDO's and it looks to be on yours. Straight circulation flattening tends to be uniform.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/26/2021 6:22 pm Not a match: DDO spread is not present on your coin. Flattening from circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 12/26/2021 7:08 pm Oh goodness I apologize! I posted this in a rush as I had to go to dinner. I should've posted these from the beginning. Here are my images: Thank you CS and Coop, much appreciated. I can certainly see what you both mean. Hopefully these images with confirm one of the suspicions made. Report this Post to the Staff
sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 12/27/2021 12:08 am Strong class 6 DDO will have the straight parts of the B and E in Liberty curving instead of straight and the lower branch tip of the E in WE will be turned up. This has a bit of both, but maybe not enough to be listed. Report this Post to the Staff
