[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1476339, member: 15929"]BEFORE you go running off and spending $38 plus whatever shipping your dealer charges to have this coin graded as a DDO-007, be aware that a DDO-007 is NOT a Proof coin but a Business Strike. In other words, all you'll get is DDO Minor Variety on the Slab label for your $24 Variety Attribution Fee. From the CONECA Kennedy Half Dollar Book, that G looks like DDO-020 (which IS a proof coin) but you'll need to take photographs of more than just the G and W. If you want a Ballpark attribution, post photo's of the entire Motto and back off the magnification just a smidge. Include a photo of the entire Obverse of the coin as well. A PCGS DDO Minor Variety won't buy you much for Value and PCGS will NOT accurately attribute the coin for its "specific DDO number other than to agree that it is a DDO. IF you want to know exactly what it is, send it to CONECA. [URL]http://conecaonline.org/content/coneca_attributions.html[/URL][/QUOTE]
