not the best coin, but one I've been keeping my eye out for. also not exhibiting all of the traits of that DDO, but the 'R' in TRUST makes me curious... fingers crossed. feedback please.     Edited by shathe

I am sorry to tell it is not. Do not panic you will find. Look more for 1971, 1972 and 1973 one in halves. Also look for those years for DDR's. You find the DDR you has the DDO. |

1974-D DDO-001 seems like the correct attribution based on the TRU in TRUST. I can see the doubled leg in the R, the extra lower left of the U and also the doubled bits of both T's in photo 4, but better photos (less glare and more directly overhead) might help.

@shathe I see it too a little on the R and the last T in TRUST. I think the issue is just circulation wear has removed a lot of details. I have this same DDO in a mint set. See if you see the same as this in yours, given a lot of wear.  |

@ Coin: You has 'it. On the "Shate" I do not see this. Could be the pics glare. On his coin I see the U to have a split but not 100 %. Those coins has a lot of minor doubling from the Hub Doubling and all has the stars Doubling and is easy to see because are nice split.

I think the issue is just circulation wear has removed a lot of details. yeah, I thought the wear might be the most difficult part as the details aren't that obvious or are worn by circulation. I thought the 'r' and the last 't' in trust might be the best indicators... Quote:

If you has an micro, then use the Camera app. With this you can adjust how you want. Do not be worry someone insult you because the pics are glare or such. Photos are hard to take like pro who study 300, 400 or more pages of (for me seem to be) crazy terms.

I have limited gear though. my best tool is really the magnifying glass in my victorinox. :) Quote:I have this same DDO in a mint set.

could be a DDO, pretty hard to tell. I think that the circulation flattening is not helping this one out. |

Can you show me the stars on Reverse upper the eagle? Maybe to high the light of the Micro. Almost all use same embeded soft. Do not worry will be a little bit yellowy pic.

You absolutely have DDO-001. The angle of the photos makes it tougher to tell, but this is definitely the doubled die. Nice find!
