If it was in the right place it would be above the memorial, not near the base of the pillars. The 9 looks longer because of how the hit spread...
Sorry, the new pics have not changed my opinion. Damage, plating issues and struck with a deteriorated die.
Hi, and welcome to CT. I am not seeing any signs of DDO or DDR. The 9 in the date was hit and damaged. There is no way the mintmark can be showing...
Typo. It is correctly entered in my OP, 152-153CE

The dime is not considered full bands as you have to be able to see the seperations on each band. The Cent is just machine doubling, flat and...
As none of that part of the die has yet to fall off and create a cud it is known as pre-cud. I think if the die was used till that part fell off a...

Grading is not the most important thing here. No point having it in a slab with some grade against it. It needs to be attributed so the slab label...
