    It looks like it could be DDO-001 stage B. It has so many hits, and scrapes it's hard to be sure of anything. What do you people think? 70Ptrust.jpg 70p-we.jpg 70p-ingod.jpg 70p-liberty.jpg 70p-date.jpg

    The thickness in IGWT is normal then? I haven't noticed that on other 1970's

    After getting spanked a couple of times for asking if I had a doubled die while presenting a machine double, I went to doubled die boot camp. Two things are lodged in my head from it. Split serif and a rounded appearance on the double as opposed to a shelf like appearance. I've never seen anything outside those parameters as genuine doubles since. I am fortunate to be retired and have a lot of time on my hands during the winter months, so I have absolutely hammered a majority of the popular coin websites. I have noticed that more than a few are putting these "thick" devices into the doubled catagory. I personally think it is grasping at straws to broaden the coin market a bit. Afterall, the great U S of A has been making their coins out of junk metal for more than a few decades now. We need to find new value somewhere right?

    Looks like an extremely worn die, all I see is die deterioration.

    We are all in your shoes TF. If it was easy, they wouldn't be worth jack. But they are out there. Humans are a sloppy bunch. We can't keep track of everything. Keep hunting.

    It is all about the 9 and the 0 for making a small date ID on a 1970.

    What do the 9 and 0 have to be, no matter what? The info is out there.
