Besides the obverse showing a lot of Die Deterioration, it appears that LIBERTY has notching in a few places. What do you think- is this a DDO? Second lighting angle: Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/05/2009 3:12 pm I would think not. Usually the notching is on the outer edge instead of the inner edges of the devices. Usually in later die states the doubled area on the die show less of the notching than the early examples shows. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm glad someone knows more than me...because my "experience" is limited to more obvious 19th C. DDOs and world varieties. Edited by DVCollector 11/05/2009 4:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
