Found this one hunting through a coin roll. I've tried to match it with a known variety listed on Wexler's site, but none seem to match.

I'd like to send it in, but the site says the attribution service is temporarily unavailable. Does anyone know when they might be up and running again?

It looks similar to cc's 004 but not sure. Maybe check out some of the markers. Yours looks like it could be a later die stage than their example. See what ya think. May be a new one too.

You need to filter your light. I am thinking it is light induced doubling.I wish coop and Mike would be regular posters.

John, you are right about there being lighting issues but you can see the football look on the zero and extra thickness on the east to west on the LI of LIBERTY in the verticals and also the 2. Notice how the horizontal of the bottom of the L and 2 are much thinner? I'm sure this is a doubled die.

Did you check out the link I gave the OP? See if there are any markers.

As requested, here are pictures of ERTY:

I compared it with CC's 004 and I don't see the same die markers.

I'll definitely hold onto it until I can send it in!

Any suggestions for getting better lighting? I'm using a digital scope that transmits over wi-fi to my phone. It has 3 light settings: bright, brighter, and definitely too bright! I could turn the light off altogether and use another light source, but what kind?

Thank you all for the feedback!

Some get good results using natural sunlight. Thanks, Doug.

I use an inexpensive LED bar flashlight with a tissue wrapped around it.

I agree with Makescents about this being a DDO.

Even with the lighting difficulties the "notching" is there and visible.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
