Dearborn Moderator United States 95550 Posts	Posted 03/02/2023 10:14 pm This is Die Deterioration, Notice how the devices are trending towards the rim. And speaking of the rim - it look like a Ridge Ring has formed also. Sorry, I do not see a DDO here Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 03/02/2023 10:55 pm I've figured it out it is CC VLDS #003 and #003 Wexler. It has the die crack on the "T" on the reverse. Very light marker on the top of the hair under the "E" in WE and crack through the hair. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 06:41 am What is your photo taking set up? I see a worn die issue,some call it a poor man's doubled die. It is not a true doubled die. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 11:56 am The top left corners of "BE" on your coin don't support it being DDO-003. VV LINK DDO-003- http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20...5PDDO003.htm I see heavy Die Deterioration as others have noted. DDO-003 has a clash at the throat as well.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19146 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 12:01 pm Agree with the Die Deterioration assessment. I hold onto distinct '55 Poor Man's Doubled Die examples. This has their appearance. What does the reverse look like? In many instances, there are die chips. Report this Post to the Staff
kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 12:01 pm I will get you the die marker pictures later this evening after work. The wexler pictures with a side by side on the "BE"in LIBERTY match best on the separation. Normally, I would agree with you guys, but this coin I believe is just "very late die state" VLDS.

kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 12:09 pm If you look at the LDS version in CC. The "55" in 1955 has the same look (DD) to them as my version. Mine is just slightly more advanced. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 12:13 pm What attribution number?What are you using to take pics with? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 12:23 pm I took a picture of my monitor of my digital microscope,which is why it looks grainy, and distorted. I will use the microscope camera and get new original pics with the right lighting. Wexler-1955p WDDO-003, AND CC- also 003 Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 12:39 pm Does not look like 003 to me. When taking photos take them the exact same way, they are presented on the reference site. Also, best not to post photos of scope screens, use a memory card in the scope. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 2:01 pm Does anyone have an example of the die crack on the lower left of the wheat kernels as stated on Wexler. I haven't seen that picture yet. Report this Post to the Staff
