'Imagination is more important than knowledge.' - Einstein- This IS 'studying up.' Here's a 95 that's doubled but not easy to see via `E PLURIBUS UNUM `
Here are the listings for 1977 at Wexler's site. He only has ddr's but no DDO's for that year. http://doubleddie.com/824007.html http://doubleddie.com/823986.html Coppercoins.com doesn't list anything but one MM error for that year.
I think its just another hit on the coin.. download it and blow it up. The coin has been ran through the mill so to speak. all along the motto has had something run across it, the area in front of the ear up into the temple area has several scrapes, hits, whatever. The coin has seen better days.
Yes the coin has seen better days, and just because there is no historical references on a subject does rule out a "first." Cynde Don's wife
I fixed it for you. Every DD, RPM and variety listed anywhere was unknown before the first one was found.
It does kind of look like machine doubling but that may be because we're all looking at a photo and not in-hand. If you do believe it's the real-deal, you can send it to James Wiles for attribution. It's fairly inexpensive ($8, I believe) and if it's indeed the real deal, you'll get named named as the "discoverer".
