[QUOTE="Tankkiller275, post: 4879071, member: 114804"]As I review the various DDO and DDR information, to include the pictures, I read mentioned "extra thickness" and look at the provided pictures. What exactly does this mean and how do I know if I have a coin related to this definition and thus a DDO-001 coin? As an example the 1976 DDO-001 penny states, "extra thickness on LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST." When I look at the pictures provided and compare them to a 1976 penny I have located the look is very similar. I understand finding a DDO/DDR coin is challenging and not a common occurrence by any stretch of the imagination. The concern I have is actually finding one and not knowing I have found it because it is not obvious, resulting in its being "jar-tossed". This might be a bit long but... [ATTACH=full]1178420[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1178422[/ATTACH] I attempted to crop my pictures at the approximate size and orientation of those shown on VarietyVista's site but mine ended up being larger due to the cropping process...
