E pluribus and the dot look like a typical class 6 DDR but not much on unum:



The wheat stocks are huge then the more you look almost everything shows it:











Markers:






It matches 1DR-004 that's listed on the site. It has the crack over VDB then east of that a crack along the lower edge of the bust. It has the lines under the chin but the lower chin meets the field sharper than the listed one so maybe this is an earlier die state. Coneca lists several that sound like this but I'm not sure which one matches it.

Very nice pics. At least in as good condition as the one in the date guide. Where did you find it?

Garry,

It was in my folder for years, I just started looking closer at reverses for DDRs so I popped everything out for a look and said "WOW"

I haven't bought anything to search in so long I'm just looking over stuff I had. Further proof that as time passes we get better at looking because I missed this one before.

Very Nice doubling! Always nice to give your old coins in possession an extra look or two as time progresses.
