    Someone recheck my work ...but I believe that its a late state 1959 D ddo-002 , as the pups seem to point to this DOO.

    http://varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/1959DDDO002.htm 20220712_102751.jpg 20220712_074840.jpg

    Die chip under the L in liberty, no chip over the VDB but a late state... cud, as well assorted items showing doubling or splits serifs. :) by my eye CONGRATS YOU PICK A DDO. 1959DDDO002c VDB.jpg 1959DDDO002c LIB 1.jpg 1959DDDO002c LIB 3.jpg 1959DDDO002c 59 of date.jpg

    Also look at the B in Liberty you'll notice the image of the ddo shows a die chip in the lower loop of the B ...look closely at the op's image enlarge it look at the B now remember the op's coin is late state....do you see it?

    What's funny something kept bring me back to this post...and now I know why...something I saw eariler must of triggered my return.

    Still in the wild only because it has recently been re-released into it.

    The die chip is in plane view under the L, the die chip on the B is also present as it has moved from lower loop of the B to the outer loop of the B on the lower loop. Split serifs makes this specimen the ddo I stated.

    Every so often, I come across something in my pocket change that is "found out in the wild" that raises my eyebrows. I'm guessing that what happens is, someone put the coin(s) away in a drawer and then years later someone else goes through the drawer(s) while on a treasure hunt, collects all the coins and spends them without really looking at them and noticing the error(s)/rarity.

    This scenario played out a few times when my grandparents and great aunts/uncles passed away. Their kids converge on the house and start going through all the cabinets, drawers, etc. in search for treasure (life insurance documents, money, jewelry, etc.). It's like a free for all pack of piranha or seagulls.

    This is what scenario comes to mind when I find something out in the wild that has some type of value besides face value.

    20220712_15_16_37.png 20220712_174404.png die chip under the L( it maybe taged for the cud)..but it does have all the markers including the B in Liberty with the same chip as the variety,as well the doubling. The op last images are way over exposed to see anything correctly .
    And again late die state could very well turned into a cud. From the chip which is under that cud.

    Die chips can get bigger but they don't move. On this late stage the die chip should be clearly visible on the inside of the lower loop of the B and it isn't there.

    Well ill agree to disagree as there's a chip on the lower loop of the B and there's a die chip marker under the L as well date and mm are correct. As well splitting on the serifs . So to each their own... Im sticking to what my eyes tell me.. as well my references.
