Message:: [QUOTE="shilines, post: 8120357, member: 91499"]This is the one right here I believe that I have. <img src="https://doubleddie.com/img/content/452412_452416.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://doubleddie.com/img/content/452412_824697.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> 1970-S 1¢ WDDO-001         "Best Of" Variety Description:  A very strong Class I CW spread shows on the letters of LIBERTY, IGWT, and the date. Die Markers:  Obverse:  Numerous die scratches run from SW to NE through the letters of WE and between WE and TRUST.  A vertical die scratch can be found above the E in LIBERTY.  A die scratch runs NE from the mint mark through the lower 7 and the upper left zero in the date.  A die scratch runs from north to south below the chin.  Reverse:  A die scratch runs SE from the top right of the 2nd T in STATES to the top right of the 1st U in PLURIBUS.  A short, diagonal die gouge can be found to the right of the top of the M in UNUM.  A die gouge can be found to the left of the bottom of the T in CENT.  A short die scratch runs from SSW to NNE in the field below the Memoial and left of the left post.
