This could almost be the exact coin pictured on Coppercoins for the 002 - the resemblance is perfect. Note the broken O in GOD. A minor find but still a DDO for me!

Kevin,
I do not believe your coin to be DDO-002. The extra thickness in LIBERTY, and the twisting of the bottom portions of the letters is just not there. As far as the broken 'O' in GOD, it is believed to be a master die issue, and seen on other coins as well, not just the variety.

I'm on the fence with this one. The O in GOD and the B in LIBERTY do look similar but the extra thickness, at least in the photos, on the LI, E and the 192 of the date look different than the coin on Coppercoins.com - I don't have this particular DDO to compare to, so I could be totally wrong...

Oops - seems I was typing my response the same time as Bob but posted just after - if I knew I wouldn't have posted - oh well...

Opps! I thought I backed into this attribution. I set it aside because the thickness in the date, liberty and motto. When I compared it to the CC site, I found the broken O and wood grain affect on the coin. Thought I had it.
