As some of you know, I bought a lot of bags of wheat cents in a couple estate auctions. One of the miscellaneous lots that came with a purchase included several boxes of random coins. This lonely 1973 cent was in a plastic holder with a label containing only a question mark. As I looked at the motto, LIBERTY, and date, it made me wonder if it might be Variety Vista 1973 DDO-001 / Copper Coins 1973P-1DO-001 / Wexler WDDO-001. Here are the obverse and reverse mug shots: Here are the areas of possible doubling: And here are the two possible key markers mentioned on Wexler's site: The scratch near the rim at 8:00 on the obverse. The small vertical gouge or scratch between R and I of AMERICA. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3635 Posts	Posted 04/02/2025 7:20 pm Thanks! That's what I needed to find out! I guess it will be a mystery why the original owner had it in a plastic holder. Maybe a birthday gift for a child or something purely sentimental. All the rest of the coins in that box made sense, the usual random silver coins and foreign coins that people save from pocket change. Report this Post to the Staff
