Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 12/25/2024 8:48 pm Hello everyone. With a little bit of reading I have found that this die was retired early in the run. Ironically being replaced with another similar die. DDO-007. Later the reverse was replaced and DDO-007 had two different reverse dies. In its current die state, the obverse of my coin is covered in die scratches. I imagine it was retired shortly afterwards. This coin was originally housed in a NGC case and graded a 65! I'm planning on finally biting the bullet and submitting a bunch of coins this week. Wish me luck. Thanks for looking and happy holidays! http://varietyvista.com/09a%20WQ%20...0DDDO001.htm Edited by Willburton 12/25/2024 8:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8733 Posts	Posted 12/25/2024 11:12 pm Very cool, Will! An obviously very disturbed obverse die, to the point it was replaced. I would guess an extreme clash, to the point it was worked over so much that the devices were no longer legible enough to show what it should and was retired. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
