Very nice to find such a variety in a relatively small sample [200 coins]. Might be worth getting a Lotto ticket too.
Excellent job on those up-close pics. Have only ever done the proof cents and it is fun to hunt them though because of the added cost of proofs, my hunting ground is only online.
Sorry, cannot add much regarding the variety, but a double-variety is always a bonus.

Thanks, CentSation and Dearborn! I just realized it crosses with Wexler's WDDO/WDDR-004 and added the link. It had been a few years since I had taken pics of a proof coin, (my avatar) and had forgotten how tough they are to photograph.

http://doubleddie.com/1570034.htmlLooks like a match to this OBV listing. I'm going to do some more checking to make sure yet. But it appears correct so far. But the REV doesn't look like a match to that die number you mentioned. Note the EPU doesn't seem as strong? You might try make images the same as Wexler's to make side by sides to see if the spread is the same or not?

I'll see what I can do, but the odds of having the same obverse die but not only a changed out reverse die, that is also, a DDR, are phenomenal. If you look at the VV listings, it shows it much better. I know they didn't show as crossing over, from VV to Wexler but I'm sure they are the same dies. I also thought it very odd, that Wexler left the doubling on the west side of "DIME" in the shadows, very peculiar. -makecents-

I figured I would save us both some time. I took an existing pic, that I had already posted, did a close up, and marked it up. Look at the die dot and die gouge that I circled on my pic and look at Wexler's listing. They are spot on.  -makecents-

coop, I tried to get the lighting similar to Wexler's pic and did not take mine out of the 2x2 but think this will suffice. You can also see the identical flow lines in both pics.  -makecents-

Note the size of the closed devices? The center of the 'P'. Note they are different sizes, so this might be a different die combo or a different die marriage? You might send the images to Wexler to see if he needs to see this coin. It might be a new listing, or something else?

Alright, coop, not sure why you are fighting my coin being these listings, so this is my last stab at showing you. I would love for this to be two new listings but they are not. I have my pic, Wexler's pic and VV's pic, side by side, showing different die gouges and doubling, that are spot on. There are other areas that have matching markers but this should be enough to show they are all the same dies.  -makecents-

Really nice separation lines on the ERT. And the notching on the reverse is clear.
Excellent images. I just can't get my scope to get such nice color and clarity. Congrats.
EDIT: And a spot on attribution as well. Congrats again.

I'm not sure how to adjust it and have tried and don't care for changing the color of the pics afterwards, does not look good. As for the clarity, you just have to play with it. Viv taught me to save as a screen shot though, it is a much higher quality, do your markups in "paint" and then change the file to JPEG, to get the size down. -makecents-
