CC only has the one listed and Wexler has 2 one of which crosses to CCs 009... VV doesn't have any of the steps... I would be more than happy to take some pics for you but your coin would still need to be seen by one of the pros... Wexler is backlogged big time so Wiles may be your best bet to get it listed... I am sure Bob would like to look at it in hand but CC is not adding any thing new so there is not much Bob could do???

Thanks Jim!! I stopped on 17 too but mine is slightly different and believe it or not I went looking for 24.:LOL_Hair: I had PM'ed Bob and he said he could check it out in 2 or 3 weeks. If you are up to it, I'll send it to you in the meantime to get your thoughts and some better pics. I also found another with what looks like doubled steps if you would like to take a look at it too? It's an 88D.

Send them both my way... I will do what I can for you... If Bob is ready by the time I am finished I will send the one in this thread directly to him... If JC gets to this one soon it will be 24 :LOL_Hair:

Thank you for taking time to do this Jim!! I could not believe I ran across what looks to be another one from a different date and mm. I think I'll wait to send to JC until we can determine what it is. It would be a nice marker if it is doubled steps. I'll send them out tomorrow.

Cool... Looking forward to seeing these in hand... Thanks!!!

Thanks for letting me take a look and get pics of your coin... I appreciate it... I do not think it is a DDR... The best I can tell is it is an abraded clash of at least 2 events... I got some close ups of the bays just above the steps and can clearly see the abrasions and what appear to be clash remnants... The remnants are in B4, B7, B8, B9 and B10... There also appears to be possible remnants east of C12 and the upper base... I also did overlays of the 2 events I can somewhat identify... I also got a close up of the spike... The clash and spike pics will be in a 2nd post!!!

Here are the overlays and spike pics!!!

Fantastic pics Jim!! That's a lot better than what I had!! :LOL_Hair:Thank you for all your hard work on this! I never even saw the clash! The abrasions just seemed so consistent in bays 3 and 4 and the spacing seemed close enough that it got my attention.

That would have gotten my attention also... Image stacking software has really helped with my pics... There is no way I would be able to get pics worth a darn with out it... I take several slightly out of focus pics and let the software put them together... If I tried that myself it would take me a year to stitch the pics together with needle and thread :LOL_Hair:
