    Ive been making a few mistakes on my coins lately so I'm hoping for confirmation on this penny. I found this DDO some time back and the info I landed on from Variety Vista is 1997 DDO Ear Stage B. It means a lot to me because I actually found it that I want to have it graded.
    1) is this penny labeled correctly as DDO Stage B?
    2) would this penny benefit from an Acetone dip?
    3) I would have graded to confirm authenticity but: how do you think it would grade for condition?

    Significant wear, but maybe XF40. Nice find. Have it authenticated and graded. It is borderline slab-worthy, to be honest, but you will feel better if you do.

    Many coins are slabbed that won’t ever support the cost, but is done so for emotional or legacy reasons.
