Nice DDO Jason.

LC variety hunters ... Don't pass up looking at 1951 and 1953 proofs. I've cherried several 53s and one 51 with another 51 found in a proof set socked away.

Mintage numbers are low and DDOs often turn up on both of those proof dates.

C.D. has that 1953 As a spotlight coin and a nice story about finding a 53 proof on http://www.coppercoins.com/
