  3. Maybe I'm not 100 % but ...I see enough from the images to believe it might just be the DDR-001

    Well I'm going to see what you all think about this one. Yesterday I went through a dealer friend of mine 1/2 price box. I scored some nice coins two Washington quarters BU one was a RPM. a couple of F /f-15 buffalo nickels. I truly can't complain as I only paid like $30 bucks.
    Well tonight I pulled out the 1918 Buffalo and I'm about 90 % sure it's the WDDR-001 as it has just about all the markers. There one a die crack that my books say may or may not be there a die crack between the rim and tail. My belief that would of been a LDS coin.
    Now one has to remember that on an F coin it's been around and shows some wear, also dirt in and around the lettering ,and devices. I will say I did give it a quick dip to try and uncover some more PUPs and clues if or if not it's the DDR-001.
    Now except for the die marker the die crack everything else lines up.
    The lettering in UNITED , and under a scope you can make out some doubling on the letters URIBU , also the FIVE CENTS . Have a look and let's hear your thoughts?

    I wish I could tell you yes. But the clashing through EPU goes through the P of PLURIBUS on yours and the DDR-001 the clash goes through the L of PLURIBUS. To me that is the tell for this one. Sorry man, keep looking though.

    What you see as doubling on "FIVE CENTS", I see as die deterioration.
