Found this at a flea market today with a small assortment of other somewhat random coins/tokens.

It appears to me to be Variety Vista DDO-007, through the cello pack.

http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...0PDDO007.htm

Do you think I should carefully remove, photograph, and repackage the coin in a flip, or is there some value/benefit to keeping it in the pack?

I assume it was packaged by Littleton in the 1960's or 70's but would appreciate any insight to its age as well (the cello/envelope).

It's a hard one to spot but the S in TRUST sure does look like it! What do you need to photograph it for out of the cellophane? I'd just leave as is.

This is a tough one. Not sure it's DDO-007 or not.

Seeing how it is a 'Littleton' cello wrapping and not a OGP mint one, taking it out to photograph it then into a nice album or 2x2 can't hurt it.

But I see notching on the first 'T' of trust on the crosslet right side bottom, and on the 'S' the notch is on the top, which matches the VV DDO-007.

so, in my opinion, it is a good match

Marve65, no reason beyond having clearer pictures of the (possible) doubling.

Errers, yeah, the cellophane doesn't help

Much tilting and refocusing to get these pics! The IN & WE of IGWT stand out to me as well.

Thank you both!

Edit: Dearborn, caught me mid-response. Thank you very much for the input! That was my thought with the packaging as well.
