View Full Version : Another nearly dumped coin

Another coin that nearly made it into the recycle bag. :tinysmile_hmm_t:
Checking this against coppercoins.com , I can tell you that it does not have the reverse marker near the top of the N. In which case might make it an MDS reverse.

The obverse has more to offer for markers. This one does not have the east to west die crack across from the lapel to the shoulder, so it is not LDS on the obverse.

LDS also shows doubling at the back of the jacket from the neck down to near the Y in Liberty. This coin does not have that LDS marker.

VLDS states the die dot on N of the reverse is now gone.

So, in this case I am stumped. That is, unless my brain is in neutral today and cannot think good enough to figure it all out.
Thanks for checking up on me...

Nice hard to find DDO Jean!
Hard to say about the die state for certain. CONECA doesn't have stages a-b listed and CC doesn't have an EDS listed.

Not sure what condition your coin is, but it is always possible a marker has been worn away or an earlier state. I too have this coin, probably VF 20-25 and like yours it does not have the obverse die-crack or the reverse die-dot. I wouldn't profess to being an expert on die-states but I really doubt my coin's reverse is VLDS - so maybe both of our coins are EMDS or EDS?

Much thanks everyone. I am going to stick with my attribution decision unless someone comes in with the correct one.
