Picked this one up a few weeks back, online, with what looked to be a spread on the nostril. Once in hand, I also noted what looked to be Class IV doubling to the knot above the braid, and eyelid as well (the nostril having the largest spread). I just received word back from James Wiles who confirmed my suspicions and will be listed as a new DDO for that year. This one exhibits class IV and VIII doubling . There is one other (known) DDO this year being the 1914/3, which also had a light spread to the eyelid and nostril. Will eventually be listed in Variety Vista, Wiles recognizing it as: VDDO-002, 2-O-IV+VIII, stage B, MDS. If you find one, feel free to post to this thread! Would love to see other examples, and really curious what other die states will pop up in time.     Edited by Ty2020b

I'll have to take your word for it about the doubling.
It's certainly not anything I would have spotted.
Congrats on the Discovery piece.

Congratulations on your find. Finding a new variety documented in a reference work is a great numismatic milestone. I also am baffled by these varieties that are so difficult to distinguish from the original design.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Thank you all! Once you've stared at the same design, who knows how many thousands of times, the variances stand out. In the grand scheme of DDO's, it's certainly minor, but a bit more dramatic for us Buffalo fanatics  |

Congratulations on the find. I'm going to take your word on the doubled die - there is no way I would have seen it. |

Really cool and amazing find, thanks so much for sharing the great pictures. Really sharp eyes to pick this out from most online picture quality and gives hope that there are always new things to be discovered. Even for a date that has been scrutinized so closely as this one because of the overdate.
