1962 D 1c DDO_001 Verification Please

Firstly, thank you for posting a link to the variety. Most can't be bothered.

Secondly, your mintmark is lower than the variety [ddo-1 mm is even with the bottom of the 9] and your mm is leaning forward, while the variety mm is leaning back.

Looks like you will have to work on taking better up-close photos.Also,when refering to a referance site,it is best to take your photos exactly like they presented on that site. In this case the ST in trust and the 2,usable close-ups of them might help us help you.

Using phone only (for first time) to do this so this is trial-and-error. I made an overlay of the variety date over your date pic and lined up the mm the best I could. Hopefully this shows that when the mint marks are lined up, the dates are not. When you get better pics this may change.

It is generally not useful to post full obverse & reverse pics for this even though some on this site will tell you that you need to post them. Just the doubling and some markers if available.

Just remember that the variety comes before the markers. Markers don't mean anything without the variety.

Good luck, I'm pulling for you to get this.

Here is a more accurate overlay lining up the dates -- The MMs don't line up.

Looks more like the normal mintmark with a problem.

(there were two that year)
