Thank you to Roger and Heidi for another opportunity to put my little gray cells to work! I certainly hope I haven't let you down with this one.
I cannot find any specific die markers on this coin to compare to others I can find, so I must go by the shape and sizes of the letters and numbers, and the reason for my attribution.
Thanks for checking this one.. and please let me know if it is not correct.

No markers? That makes it extra hard! But more fun!
I don't have time to check but the strength of doubling in the date and in TRUST looks a little stronger than I recall for 1DO-006 (maybe it is DDO-003?) But I could be crazy (which I have been called before.)
Whichever die it is, congrats on the new coin and I'll check back this afternoon to see what everyone else has said.
Ciao

This is not die-006 Jean. The strength of the doubling is the first clue. Would you like me to tell you which one it is, or would you prefer to have another go at trying to attribute it??

Okay, I will keep trying. As long as I can find a picture of it somewhere I think I can do it.
Thanks fellas,
Jean

I don't see the polish line through the G and can't see the clash under the R of liberty but I think I know which it is. It would be a worn sample though. We'll see.

Okay, after more research and comparison I rescind my first attribution and now believe this to be the 008. However, even at 200X magnification I cannot find any of the known markers for either the 006 or 008 on this coin. If this is not correct then I give up.

I was comparing other letters and was thinking possibly #3 but after FINALLY looking at the U of trust it has to be #8. I think it's a worn coin that has hidden the markers.

Jean,
You are correct in that this is die-008.

I know I should have gotten it correct the first time.. there was a 50% chance I had... teehee...
Roger... are you saying that to Bob or me!
YIKES.. I am in for it now!
Thank you Roger and Heidi. (I think?).

No problem Roger, madness is my main attribute... I understand it much better than other things. And I take medication for it.
Really though, I could not decide which was correct the 006 or 008, and when the first one went down I really had to buckle down and use my brain... which isn't easy these days.
Bring it on!!!
Hugs,
Jean
