surfacewave Valued Member United States 169 Posts	Posted 04/05/2023 5:37 pm Got this in change the other day, could others confirm the attribution and stage ( I think it might be stage B) Also, would this be considered a grade of AU 55. Hope the images are ok I forgot the attribution link:http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...1PDDO001.htm Edited by surfacewave 04/05/2023 5:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

pound_foolish Valued Member United States 407 Posts	Posted 04/06/2023 08:35 am Absolute beauty and a variety I've been after for a long time. You got your hands on a lovely example! The wear screams high AU or better but those nicks might net you mid-AU. Just a guess. Reverse rim nicks also hold in back from AU58 or higher IMO. My LMC grading skills are a work in progress though... Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 04/06/2023 08:46 am Congrats on a beauty. And yes it is FS/DDO-001. (Thank you for the link because that makes it easy to help with confirmation.) As for the stage, that's a little more difficult. I can't really see any markers from your images to compare. But the strength of the doubling on LIBERTY and some of the images make me think this is an Early Die State (EDS) coin which, according to Variety Vista (the chart at the bottom of the link you provided), would be Stage A. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/06/2023 1:30 pm Some contact marks are present on your coin. But here is a view the DDO-001, FS-101 Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
surfacewave Valued Member United States 169 Posts	Posted 04/06/2023 3:12 pm Thanks, poundfoolish and petespockets55. I checked Wexlers https://doubleddie.com/661934.html and it looks like a stage A, found two of the 3 markers, scratches below R in liberty and the scratch between the A&T of states, no stage B markers found. So PP55 I think you are correct Report this Post to the Staff

surfacewave Valued Member United States 169 Posts	Posted 04/06/2023 9:38 pm I am thinking since inflation is high, people are struggling, people are emptying their change jars so u never know what or where u will find a nugget Report this Post to the Staff
