Just Found this one and Super excited as it's my first proof found out of set. Wanted to get some opinions of possible DDR. Tried to get the best pics but coin was so reflective made it tough.

I can't tell from these pictures. There is 1 DDR listed and it is close doubling most visible in the top serifs of UNU in unum.

Pictures are unfortunately not good enough to tell for sure. Proof coins are very hard to photograph.

I am curious myself, good luck!

The lighting makes it difficult for me to evaluate this.

I agree Mr. frog! I will try to take some later today and see if there are some settings I can adjust on the scope to make it better and clearer.

Much better images. Well done.
I can see what you are seeing but I'm not seeing much in the way of splits on the letters.
In the last image, there might be a split on the upper right serif of the "I".

Looking forward to seeing if you can pick up more "splits".

Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

agreed, not seeing any split serifs, but I do see lots of radial flow lines on the field due to Die Deterioration - which could be what we are seeing around the devices.
