Comparing to DDO-001 I don’t see it being the same

 

Thanks for the reply on this!

 

I saw you had no responses also no followers. My crap is all over the forums so maybe others will chime in.

 

Doesn't look like it to me.

 

From Ken Potter's website ( on the left )
to yours


notice Potters example has the lower earlobe extend to the left, down and around the bottom to the right and back up a bit.

 

Thank you kindly! I am still very new to the forum and am still learning as to the correct way to use it.

 

Thank you so much for the clarity with the side-by-side pictures. What kind of anomaly is this, if anything?

 

I'm not sure what anomaly you are ever referring to.

I just see 22 years of circulation wear, multiple hits all over the place, etc.

 

Your question was fine. This is a long game. We were all green before we lost our spots. Ain’t easy being green We’re here to help and learn ourselves.

 

Indeed! "It's not that easy being green; Having to spend each day the color of the leaves. When I think it could be".

 

The biggest problem with coin collection (and it happens to nearly everyone and I'm being generic here) is a bias on wanting to find something. That makes ppl convince themselves that they see something.

There are some that come on here convinced that they have some mint error. And they simply do not back down at all even if comparison pictures are totally obvious.

So it's all a learning process. And learning to be unbiased is probably the hardest part of the whole thing.

 

You are a GAZILLION percent correct IMHO! Who hasn't gotten just a tad bit frustrated, however, I always tell people, "You have two ears and one mouth, so you should listen twice as much as you speak. And the best way to find answers, is to ask questions." Knowledge is EXTREMELY valuable and that comes with the ups as well as the downs and I believe that's what helps us grow over time, at least on an individual basis. #ImADork
