Cliff brought up the fact that this coin that I posted as a hole filler might be a class 6 DDO. I took some close ups of the obverse and he may be correct. I looked through all the listings and found some that were very similar but was not quite sure about any of them. I was having some issues with lighting too but see what you think.

Thanks for looking, Jon.

Obverse and reverse.

Looks like you might have notching on the bottom right corner of Liberty. The 8 on your coin looks wider at the left bottom, not sure if that could be from light/angles? If you have the notching at Liberty, Coppercoins 005 is the only one I could find that could be a potential match.

Thanks for checking Viv!! Yeah, that was the closest I found too. Bob came to the rescue and answered what I was pretty sure of though.

Just noticed your thread header says 1883... if you need Jim's help fixing that just give him a shout!

It is very possible that this is a VERY minor DDO. As a matter of fact, the 1983 possible DDR you just sent me also looks like it could be a very minor DDO Jon. These things are tricky and only the most noticeable thickness/distortion on the 83 and TRUST are listable. All the others are just too minor to list.

Thank you for taking a look Bob and also for taking time to check out the coin I sent you!! I really do appreciate it!

Thank you for the update Jon and for your confirmation Bob! I don't know, but I would guess that just about "every year" has some "too minor to list" doubled dies.

Nice images Jon. Probably the main reason I noticed is because I'm going through some BU rolls of '83's and they are very consistent with the thickness. It may be minor but congrats on the find.

(Glad it wasn't my eyes playing tricks.)

Thanks for the help Cliff!! I was so excited about finding a clean 83P I didn't pay any attention to the possibility of a variety! I forget why I'm looking sometimes...
