Found this DDO today that broke about a weeks slump I was in!!! It was much appreciated!!! Was starting to get a little discouraged!! I hope you all can enjoy it and it may also give you encouragement to keep searching!!!!
Unfortunately it's a zinc coin and shows the very beginnings of rot. No holes but you can tell it will have eventually. I cleaned it with alcohol and a q-tip, then put it in a cardboard holder.

Very nice find, a rarity for the west coast. Nice spread on the date, overall should last if cared for.

I received a response from Dr. Wiles -
Jim:
The coin looks MDS. I overlooked the die clash, which I will add to the files.
Thanks,
James Wiles
It is MDS (Stage B) but he did overlook the clash and will add that to his files!!!
