Seldom seen Variety

[1sgret]

I saw the thread posted by Shannon reference a DDO for 1973.

Here is an example (Not in too good of shape) for the CDDO-001/WDDO-001/1-O-V Doubled Die Obverse for that year.

In all the years of my searching this is the only example I have ran across.

You can see the separation lines (somewhat) in "LIB" of Liberty and pretty good separation lines in the "O" & "G" of GOD and some notching and separation lines on the "W" of WE. This is one I would like to find a nice example of for my collection.

Would you say the best to look on this variety is the W in WE?

am i missing something like a bad reverse cause it looks a lot better than the ones i find especially for that date most take a funny hit right below the center of the 3 in the date splitting off the upper part from the lower one its an interesting defect when it does that i see a lot of whatever it is im describing on the steel cents as well

Those light divisional lines are indicators of a true DDO

Very elusive DDO to find. Congrats Joe! I've examined 2 examples sent in to me for attribution but have never come across one in my searching.
