I do not know why but I do not see the DDO??? Maybe the PSD??? Also the abrasions do not seem to be at the correct angles??? Especially at the C of CENT??? Help me out here please!!!

Oh no!!! The Dream Killer has visited me!! Let me check it out and maybe get some better and additional pics. I actually only took pics that correlated with coppercoins because I thought it was spot on.
Come on guys, that last post was funny!! Here are a few more pics of the different areas shown on cc and vv. I feel I've found a couple of extra markers and have issues as Jim does with others (the "C" in CENT scratches on mine seem less north than the pics on the attributed coin and the scratches around GOD seem to be going the wrong way). The 9 seemed really thick to me is why I started looking to begin with but I maybe wrong, I'm pretty good at that. This coin is beat up pretty good and I'm sure the PSD has messed with trying to attribute this guy. Help me Jim, help me!!
On most of these class 6 DDOs the best pick up points are the ramp on the lower horizontal of E (there's some slight ramp but less than the 1DO-005) and the curved verticals on LIBERTY (B looks wide but not curved, E looks wide but not curved other than from a hit near the base).
On the date, the base of the 4 does not have the same shape, the lower section of the 3 is too thin, above that the 93 look wide from wear.
The places where the coin looks thick may mostly be circulation flattening things out and making them look wide.
Most 34 cents had good relief on the details so when they get beat up things get wider.

Hard to be sure on a well circulated coin.
Thanks Ed!! I knew when the Dream Killer came it wasn't good.... Jim keeps me in check, and that teaches me more than I can explain. You, without a doubt, are very intelligent also and in the know! After going back and looking I already knew. I still got a semi nice wheat out of a roll!! Thanks for taking enough interest to look and reply sir!
This is what you guys do best! Figure out the tough ones! I thought this was it too Jon but I've never found a wheat DDO, only a DDR. When I saw the marker photos and took circulation wear into account, sure looked like it to me too
One thing I see on these class 6s, the curved spines on LIBERTY and the ramps on E don't vanish from wear and a beating, if anything they get exaggerated because it's extra metal on the ends so beating makes them grow even bigger. It's more likely that a beating can make a normal one wider or even flare the ends to be wider. If you see a straight vertical on the B and not enough ramp on the E it's probably a normal coin with wear even if it looks wider.

Thank you sir!! I will try to log that in my little brain! You guys can contain and bring back things from times past. All of our brains work differently, obviously. I hope I can contain this info even though I may not be lucky enough to run across this situation again. I think I will though because of the time spent discussing it. Thank you again sir, it is always a pleasure having a knowing person helping me through my next minefield of obstacles!! There are sooooo many good folks here to help along each individual with there unique problems.

Be verwy verwy quiet... I'm hunting coins!!! Good Hunting!!!
