Jess1234 Valued Member Canada 333 Posts	Posted 05/04/2023 4:46 pm Hi everyone, This penny does not match the photos I've seen of the famous DDO, but I find that there are a few peculiarities that I'd like your help with, if possible? The letters in WE TRUST are attached to the rim and seem thicker that other pennies. Also the T in trust seems odd. Finally, in E.PLURIBUS there are a few letters missing. Can someone please weigh in on what I'm seeing? The weight is 3.02g. Any idea on grade and/or value? Thanks so much! Edited by Jess1234 05/04/2023 4:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1493 Posts	Posted 05/04/2023 5:23 pm Looks pretty typical for that year, along with some circulation dings and flattening. A high W in WE was the norm, as you can see here: https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...8-1c-rd/2848 Edited by halfamind 05/04/2023 5:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jess1234 Valued Member Canada 333 Posts	Posted 05/04/2023 6:05 pm Thanks everyone! I appreciate it. Doesn't anyone think that the L in PLURIBUS is missing? Am I seeing things? Is it PMD? Strike through grease? I will post it in the appropriate thread for grading! Report this Post to the Staff
