I am looking for two spot on EDS specimens. Not interested in slabbed coins. They need to be UNC or BU - not AU. I can deal with a problem coin if it does not mess up the variety. So, a coin with counting wheel damage on the reverse, would be okay.
1995 DDO-001 - a stage A EDS. No gouges or die pitting is present above LIBERTY. The Reverse is EMDS/MDS and is the first reverse. The reverse was switched out later with a clean EDS. These are notoriously misattributed to the wrong stage for some odd reason. Coppercoins has a picture of an EDS LIBERTY.
2011 1DO-004 (DDO-001 - WDDO-002) - stage A EDS. Only Wexler lists seeing a stage A. The coin would have to not have any of the stage B MDS markers noted.

From John's website doubleddie.com:
"Obverse Stage A: None significant. Obverse Stage B: A die gouge can be found in the field well north of the RT in LIBERTY and west of Lincoln’s ear. Reverse Stage A: A die scratch runs from SW to NE below the right side of the horizontal crossbar of the T in CENT. Reverse Stage B: A die crack runs along the left side of the top of the shield. A die chip can be found on the bottom of the E in CENT."
